Chapter 972 - 971: Precious Porcelain
Having said that, he directed the two orcs behind him to place the porcelain dish filled with fruit on a nearby rock: "These are fruits from our forest, and the porcelain dish holding them is very valuable. Across the entire main continent, only our tribe possesses them, and we have only a few. In time, we will present it to your esteemed tribe."
Gui Zhuangzhuang immediately and politely declined, but the elder priest by his side grabbed the edge of his beast skin cloak.
And in that brief pause, Ya Li had already left with the two orcs.
He turned around, puzzled, to look at the elder priest: "Priest Uncle, what’s the matter...?"
The expression on the elder priest’s face was priceless, as if he had received dozens of Water God Fruits.
The wrinkles on his face had all smoothed out.
This startled Gui Zhuangzhuang: "Priest Uncle, what’s happened to you?"
The elder priest didn’t speak; instead, he joined the other two priests, eyes gleaming, crowding around the two fruit dishes.
"Whale Priest, have you ever seen such an item before?" The Tortoise Tribe’s elder priest asked earnestly, eyes shining as he gazed at the fruit dish.
The towering Whale Priest’s eyes also sparkled as he looked at the dish and shook his head: "No, I have never seen such a beautiful item. It’s absolutely magical."
"Old Turtle, how about giving one of these dishes to our Sea Crocodile Tribe?"
At this point, the Sea Crocodile Tribe’s elder priest also spoke up.
The Tortoise Tribe’s elder priest pulled a face: "Are we that close? If you have the guts, go ask the Watson Tribe yourself."
This choked up the Sea Crocodile Tribe’s elder priest, who huffed and glared at the Tortoise Tribe priest: "Just gloat while you can."
Your Tortoise Tribe has one, but our leading Giant Whale Tribe doesn’t. Just you wait...
What the cunning Sea Crocodile Tribe priest could think of, the shrewd Tortoise Tribe priest obviously had thought of too.
He looked towards the infatuated Whale Priest: "Whale Priest, our Tortoise Tribe’s offering this year hasn’t been made yet. I wonder if replacing it with such a dish would be acceptable?"
The Whale Priest’s eyes lit up, and he looked at the Tortoise Tribe priest with a grin: "Ha ha, old fellow, you really are crafty.
I really like both dishes, so I won’t be shy in taking one.
Of course, your Tortoise Tribe won’t be at a disadvantage. Such a precious dish can replace fifty years of offerings from your Tortoise Tribe."
The Tortoise Tribe priest was truly astounded and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Beside him, Gui Zhuangzhuang was nearly ecstatic. Offerings for fifty years – that was a multitude of items.
With these fifty years, their Tortoise Tribe would greatly develop.
Meanwhile, both the elder priest of the Sea Crocodile Tribe and Elyle’s expressions turned extremely sour.
Their Sea Crocodile Tribe had always been at odds with the Tortoise Tribe. If the Tortoise Tribe thrived, would there be any good fruit left for the Sea Crocodile Tribe?
But seeing the Whale Priest’s fondness for the porcelain dish, they indeed didn’t dare say anything at this moment.
A young orc from the Giant Whale Tribe also said nothing. He was the son of the chief, the next Giant Whale Tribal Chief.
His outing was to gain experience by following the priest, to undergo a sort of trial.
The priest held a revered status in the tribe, and indeed, this object called "fruit dish" was incomparably beautiful.
A small tribe like the Tortoise Tribe’s fifty years of offerings was insignificant to them; it wouldn’t be missed if forgiven.
