Chapter 76: Newcomer to the Armament Department
Gently exhaling a long breath, the coldness in Luo Ji’s eyes dissipated.
He turned around, his expression normal, and motioned for his tribal warriors to gather the scattered barbarian warriors and the Black Jackal Tribe’s population.
They packed their belongings and moved towards the Mirror Tribe.
Luo Ji himself, along with Luo Yong and Black Jackal, went ahead and returned to the Mirror Tribe.
Black Jackal was clearly seeing the prosperity of the Mirror Tribe for the first time.
To be honest, despite being separated by only a forest, the Mirror Tribe now before his eyes made him feel as if he were in another world.
Inside the tribal camp, women were diligently weaving things in their hands, with several children occasionally running past, playing.
On the Mirror Lake and the barren land opposite, many people were doing things he didn’t understand.
At the same time, on the way to the camp, he saw many men cutting trees and transporting timber in the forest.
This was an atmosphere, one he had never felt before.
Unlike them, who struggled daily for survival and food, this entire tribe was full of life.
Everyone’s eyes seemed to be sparkling, and their gaze towards Luo Ji was filled with trust and respect.
As the former leader of the Black Jackal Tribe, Black Jackal had originally thought he was doing well, at least as a leader, he should have been qualified.
But now, he felt somewhat disheartened by the scene before him.
Entering the camp, Luo Ji immediately spotted Little Fox, who was holding a stone spear, her eyes sparkling.
She evidently saw him too and immediately ran over.
Her repeated calls of ‘Chief’ were so affectionate that Black Jackal, following behind, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
Although they had indeed submitted now, and Luo Ji was indeed their new chief, the problem was, didn’t she see her former chief standing right behind her?
Couldn’t she be a little more reserved?
Did she not consider her former chief’s feelings?
“Chief, Chief!”
“The uncles from the hunting team said that these stone spears and stone axes were all researched by you?”
Facts proved that Little Fox had no such intentions, and in this short time, she seemed to have gotten quite familiar with the hunting team.
But it didn’t matter.
This Little Fox was a talent he valued highly.
In the long run, her importance might even surpass that of Black Jackal, the 5 star potential fierce general.
“That’s right, I researched them.”
Luo Ji nodded, then, as if remembering something, he asked.
“More importantly, have you ever encountered a tribe led by a young chief?”
Luo Ji intended to inquire about that young chief.
In that situation, he had no choice.
After all, it was a hidden danger, so it was better to be cautious.
Black Jackal’s expression first froze upon hearing this, then he nodded straightforwardly.
“Yes, back at the earlier camp, we encountered a wandering tribe that was looking for a new settlement.”
“We had a few skirmishes with them over hunting grounds.”
“They used stone spears and stone axes, and relying on their weapon advantage, they initially gave us quite a hard time.”
“The leader of that wandering tribe was indeed very young, but his skills were quick and hard to deal with.”
“Could it be that…”
At this point, Black Jackal clearly had some guesses in his mind.
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Luo Ji nodded frankly.
“That tribe had fought us before and fled after being defeated.”
Luo Ji didn’t dwell on this topic, he was merely confirming it.
After all, so much time had passed.
In this era, trying to find a wandering tribe based on a few words was simply a fool’s dream.
But Little Fox didn’t care about any of that.
She excitedly chatted with Luo Ji about weapon-related topics.
She was practically prostrating herself in admiration for Luo Ji, who had thought of binding stones and sticks together to research stone axes and stone spears.
Before that, who would have thought of tying heavy stones to sticks to make weapons?
It was simply incredible!
Little Fox’s enthusiasm for the topic of weapons was now at an unprecedented level.
In the Black Jackal Tribe, everyone else was just a bunch of silly fools.
She could talk to them for half a day, and no one would understand.
Finally, she found someone with whom she could share a common topic.
At this moment, she wished she could drag Luo Ji to talk for days and nights!
At the same time, her loyalty, which had been stuck at a little over 80 points, also began to rapidly increase.
After all, she was one of the most important talents in their tribe now.
Being able to cater to her interests and conveniently boost her loyalty, Luo Ji was naturally delighted.
But talking for days and nights was out of the question, he wasn’t that idle.
“Come with me, I’ll show you something good.”
Luo Ji decisively used the tactic of changing the subject.
“Something good?”
After a brief exercise of her imagination, Little Fox’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Is it a new weapon?”
“Something like that.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji led Little Fox to the entrance of the Armament Department.
“This is the Armament Department…”
“Armament Department?”
Seeing Little Fox’s confused expression, Luo Ji explained in due time.
“It’s the place where various weapons and equipment are made and researched.”
“I like it here!”
Without any hesitation, the moment Little Fox heard Luo Ji’s explanation, she immediately expressed her fondness for the Armament Department.
“Glad you like it.”
“You’ll be working here from now on.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji waved to Liu Shu, the head of the Armament Department.
“Liu Shu, show her the bow and arrow designs.”
“Chief, who is she?”
Liu Shu asked casually while retrieving the bow and arrow designs.
“You can call her Little Fox.”
“She doesn’t have a proper name yet, but she has a high talent for researching weapons.”
“From now on, she’s part of your Armament Department.”
“She should be a great help with the research on bows and arrows.”
What kind of place was the Armament Department?
It’s one of the most important departments in the entire tribe.
In other words, those who could enter the Armament Department were all highly loyal subjects.
Those whose loyalty didn’t meet the standard couldn’t even dream of stepping through its doors.
As such, no one would naturally question Luo Ji’s orders.
Liu Shu’s question earlier was merely out of curiosity about this unfamiliar face, not a challenge to Luo Ji’s command.
Liu Shu handed the bow and arrow designs to Little Fox quite readily.
As someone with the ‘Armament Master’ talent, Little Fox’s attention was almost immediately drawn to the contents of the designs.
She completely immersed herself in the research and contemplation of bows and arrows, and everything else was immediately forgotten.
