Chapter 471 Signing the Contract
There were only the two of them, and they were familiar with the route, and they had also figured out their goals and what they needed to get.
So this time Alka directly controlled the mirror, forming a flying magic mirror, carrying Yanjiao quickly towards the edge of the mountain range, in the direction of the stone forest.
Compared to the time they had come here, they had saved at least half the time. In just a few days, they had already seen the valley depression where the stone forest was located from afar. It was integrated with the surrounding peaks, making it impossible to detect.
Perhaps because Rockhorn was following him, Alka clearly saw that another Stonehoof sentinel was aware of their presence.
But they did not rush to intercept them, and just let them move forward.
Yanjiao looked at the place in front of him.
"I'm back, but nothing has changed."
As if it had sensed his return, the half-elemental creature with the appearance of a minotaur that Alka had seen guarding the gate before, who looked exactly like him, walked out directly from inside the rock.
Looking at the rock corner, they hugged each other.
Some kind of silent communication took place.
Although Alka didn't know what they were communicating, he couldn't see any expression on the minotaur's dull face.
But from Yanjiao's rather straightforward expression, it could be seen that they were probably talking about the half-elemental creature who had died in the center of the mountain range before.
Alka remembered that Yanjiao said that the dead one was his brother, and perhaps he also had the appearance of a minotaur.
After the conversation, Alka followed the two of them directly through the wall and entered the interior of the stone forest. There was no difference compared to when they left.
The strange and tall elder named Sanjiaoyan walked over.
After a silent exchange with Yanjiao, he raised his head and looked at Alka.
"Human friend, I have heard what he said, and thank you for your help."
Alka smiled and nodded, then took out the three crystal cores from the space.
He handed the core to the elder in front of him.
The elder watched Alka gather all three in such a short time. He thought that having one was already very good.
Although he could feel the surprise, his appearance did not change. After receiving it, he nodded to Alka and said, "Thank you. You are now a sincere friend of our clan. Please let me prepare a thank-you gift for you."
Seeing the elder about to leave, Alka quickly stopped him and said, "I came here because I have something more important to discuss with you."
Hearing this, the Great Elder turned around and looked at him again.
Yanjiao was also standing nearby waiting.
"The environment of this world is not conducive to your survival, and there are no conditions for your offspring to be born.
But I have a place here with pure single earth element, which is very suitable for you to live and reproduce. "
Hearing Alka's words, the Great Elder didn't believe it at first, and became alert, but he still stared at Alka with a stiff face.
Alka knew that he would definitely not believe it so easily, so he looked at Yanjiao to indicate that it was his turn.
Yanjiao nodded, walked up immediately, and began to communicate with the Great Elder using silent waves.
Watching this scene, Alka took two steps back and observed with eyes that could detect emotional fluctuations.
As the silent communication went on, Alka could clearly see that the Great Elder's mood gradually changed from vigilance and suspicion to belief, and then quickly turned into excitement and surprise that continued to emanate from him.
After the exchange, the Great Elder looked at Alka and said, “If you can really do it, then my tribe will sign an elemental contract with you.
We will be used by you and fight for you, in exchange for you providing a suitable environment for our people to survive in."
Very straightforward, it seems that the entire ethnic group has a more direct personality.
Alka nodded with satisfaction, agreeing to such simple contract terms.
He provided a safe place to live so that the entire tribe could reproduce, and the entire tribe signed a contract to provide him with labor and fighting power.
A very good deal.
After all, if they could really give birth to offspring, then the race would be able to truly continue. Unless Alka sent them to die.
Then they will naturally refuse.
As for the actual signing of the contract, that will not officially begin until the whole thing is completed.
"Can... I see that area with my own eyes?" asked the Great Elder.
Alka nodded: "Of course." Then he stretched out his hand and swiped to the side, and a crack in space opened.
He walked in with the Great Elder and Yanjiao.
During this time on the road, Alka continued to infuse the magic power of a single earth element into it.
At this time, inside this enclosed space, the magic power of the earth has become extremely strong, and the ground has long since revived.
The once barren plain has turned into brown land and protruding mud and boulders.
As soon as you enter here.
The power of the Great Elder Triangle Rock began to rise, visible to Alka's eyes.
The cracks on his body actually began to close and recover, and soon he entered the initial stage of stage 8.
And it stabilized here.
Alka just stared at it blankly.
Why wasn’t there such a change when Yanjiao entered here before?
This change came unexpectedly.
However, looking at Yanjiao's expression, it seems that this is a very normal phenomenon. It may be the difference in performance caused by the difference in strength or stage.
Alka couldn't quite understand this situation.
As for the possibility that the great elder in front of him might suddenly go crazy and want to attack him and get the treasure in his hand, he had never thought about it.
Not everyone can possess treasures, especially those who come from other worlds.
If he was facing someone from this world, Alka would still be wary.
"Very good... It completely meets the environmental conditions for nurturing new life. That's great."
The Great Elder's words suddenly became fluent, and his emotions fluctuated.
The whole feeling of the person changed from being old and frail to being strong and strong in the middle of the middle age.
From the appearance, it can be seen that the cracks that were all over the body have completely disappeared, and even the soil and stones on the surface have become shiny.
He turned and looked at Alka.
Then he raised his right hand, and a large amount of elemental power began to gather on the palm of his right hand.
A thick stone slab appeared in front of Alka, filled with a heavy atmosphere and totems with patterns.
Then sacred carvings began to appear on it.
And it was specially converted into the language used by the home sea, which Alka could easily understand and read.
The above is exactly the content of the contract they just talked about.
After the contract is signed, the residents of the Stonehoof tribe will serve Alka and fight for him. Alka will provide them with an elemental environment like the current one, so that their tribe can live a normal life.
They must not be forced to do anything that is too harmful to the interests of the entire ethnic group, such as sending them to die in large numbers.
Faced with such a contract, Alka directly signed his name on it, and used the power of the Virgin Mary mixed with his own magic power to press the fingerprint representing the contract on it.
After the hand seal was pressed, it automatically transformed into the Alka Dream Kingdom, representing the personal seal of the King of Alka Dreams.
The entire contract is fully valid.
Under the witness of the elements, under the witness of the Virgin Mary, under the witness of dreams.
As the contract was signed, he seemed to sense something and there was a certain change in the overall power.
The brown card representing the earth emerged, and he could clearly feel that his control over this element had been strengthened.
Signing this contract automatically brings the blessing of the earth element.
I didn't expect it to have such an effect.
"Now that the contract has been signed, let your people move in."
"Of course, we're going to start now."
Then Alka granted the permission to enter this space and handed it to the great elder in front of him.
Then they walked out.
The entire Stone Forest began to become busy.
The Great Elder used some unknown power to transmit it through the earth, which seemed to represent the fluctuation of the signal.
The elemental life everywhere around began to return, and Alka just sat there and waited quietly. His job now was to open a larger door.
Alka discovered that the things that were important to them seemed to be only certain materials rich in earth elements and various totem statues.
As Alka opened the gate, they began to build a new stone forest on the barren land.
Faced with such a situation, Alka certainly would not let it go and sat next to him and started to study.
As Alka studied beside him, he also understood the social structure of half-elemental creatures.
It is very simple to divide them by age and strength.
First of all, there are elements that do not exist in their tribe, and they can also become children like elemental cubs.
Then comes the normal adult semi-elemental creature after growth.
All those in the Stonehoof tribe whose strength is at the third stage or below are called semi-elemental creatures.
Next are the warriors in stages 4 and 5.
Of course, warrior is just a title for this stage, which just represents their great strength.
Elders in the 6th and 7th stages.
At this stage, in addition to strong strength, age and experience are also far superior to other elements.
However, Triangle Rock, who is known as the Great Elder, has actually passed this stage.
Now should be called elemental boss.
Alka discovered that the names were actually no different from those of normal elemental creatures, except for some slight subdivisions.
After all, we live together in the elemental interface.
At this time, a half-elemental creature that Alka had never seen before walked over. Alka looked at him. The strength of the entire elemental creature was probably around the sixth stage.
Obviously an elemental elder.
After coming he looked at Alka.
“Arka, we still have a contract with the Frontline Alliance. According to the contract, we need to provide a certain amount of ore.
Do we still need to renew this contract now?"
The reason why this matter was not decided by the Great Elder was because the other party in this matter was a human being like Alka, and Alka's opinion needed to be considered.
Alka thought for a moment and asked, "How many people and how long will it take to fulfill the contract?"
"It takes a team of 10 people a month."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, that was not too much to ask.
"Then continue to fulfill the contract and take turns. When you have other time, return to this space... No, it should be called Stone Forest now."
Since there are no external element restrictions, this area can be completely transformed into a stone forest.
A square area with a side length of one kilometer is more than enough for them to survive. You know, the stone forest outside is not as big as this.
If it really doesn't work, Alka can always expand around, after all, the world is big enough.
Of course it is small compared to the whole world, but for Alka, it can be considered a small continent.
After hearing Alka's decision, the elemental elder in front of him nodded, then left to make arrangements.
Alka found that the construction of the stone forest was much more complicated than he thought. For these elemental and semi-elemental creatures, some completely unknown techniques were used to connect the surrounding single earth element through stone pillars and totems one by one.
Then he began to control them freely, arranging them in a certain proportion and order in the stone forest, naturally forming a natural magic circle.
It made the earth element of the entire area active, yet... gentle. This was the only adjective he could come up with for now.
Because active elements cannot possibly appear gentle, but rather violent and destructive.
For example, in this world, earthquakes and collapses can be considered as manifestations of elemental activity.
Then they started the resurrection of the new generation in front of Alka.
The first was an elemental core of the kind that Alka had seen before.
In the center of the entire stone forest there is a huge and finely carved totem.
This totem is carved with a creature that resembles a cow, but it is obviously a fantasy creature similar to a cow, and there is a huge stone hoof print.
They then transformed the core through some kind of ritual and wrapped it in a stone ball.
The mud ball gradually solidified and became hard, and then turned into a stone egg with patterns printed on it.
The entire stone egg suddenly became extremely smooth, like a pebble in a river.
These smooth stone eggs were held up by the great elder.
Alka could sense the silent vibrations of their communication, as if some ritualistic prayer was being performed.
After all, this is the first life born to them in such a long time.
After the ceremony, the stone egg floated, and just like that, it floated next to the huge totem pole, supported by a ball of brown light.
Then they flew up one after another.
Various materials rich in earth elements are also used.
Alka sat there for two whole days, watching the operations of these semi-elemental creatures. Even just by watching, he felt that he had made great progress in controlling the earth element.
All I can say is that as expected of a creature that can control the earth element naturally, there are many techniques that Alka may not be able to learn even if he sees them.
That's other people's instinct.
In just two days, the entire Stonehoof tribe of about 300 people returned to their former strength.
In just two days, Alka discovered many semi-elements, and the cracks in life were about to be repaired.
To a certain extent, the strength has been improved.
Or maybe they should have improved their strength after such a long time, but the harsh environment and scarcity outside made their strength stagnate or even regress.
After they arrived at an environment suitable for their survival and their previous malnutrition was eliminated, their natural strength began to make up for the loss caused by this period of time.
For example, the great elder.
Before coming here, he was indeed just a semi-elemental creature at the seventh stage of perfection, an elder level.
But after 800 years, he should have broken through to become a leader-level being.
But the environment was scarce, and until it was brought to the appropriate area and its body was repaired, it broke through into a new stage in an instant.
After everything is done.
Alka appeared in the stone forest outside, which was already empty.
Only a small team of half-elemental creatures remained.
The team leader, Alka, has given him permission to enter the space.
Alka then began to return, going deeper into the interior of the Ghost Mountain.
When he went back, he did not use the flying magic mirror to carry him for quick movements, but instead used the brown earth card.
Start practicing the techniques you learned earlier.
Standing on a sharp stone, the stone slides between , moving forward quickly like skiing in the snow.
This requires great delicacy and some hidden tricks to do.
If Alka hadn't gained an improvement in his ability to manipulate the earth element, he wouldn't have been able to do this, let alone maintain it.
It slid all the way inwards like this, and its speed began to slow down as it moved deeper into the mountains.
Because the increasingly dense aura of the abyss inside penetrates deep into the earth, the earth element within the earth is restrained to a certain extent, unlike the outside.
The abyss aura was very faint, almost non-existent, in the outer area, especially in the stone forest area. It should be that the semi-elemental creatures of the Stonehoof tribe took some kind of protective measures.
This is also why when Alka saw the rock horn before, he did not dive into the ground to hide.
Because in a place so severely invaded by the abyss, any element is contained differently.
As a last resort, in the second half of the journey, Alka began to use the magic mirror again to fly quickly.
The trip back and forth, plus the waiting in between, took Alka nearly half a month before he finally arrived.
