Dean didn't know how they defined this relationship, but in his understanding, it was called tribute.
And there is still no choice in paying tribute.
When a subordinate country pays tribute to a big country, it still has the right to choose the tribute items. The Sea Clan does not even have the right to choose. It can only wait for others to finish picking and pick up the remaining items for use.
It's hard for Dean to believe that the relationship between the two is a simple one of equality and mutual help.
Speaking of which, Dean is actually a little curious about how the two parties maintain contact. Maybe he has too few sources of information. Until now, he has never heard of any method that allows people to travel to another area.
But since the Sea Tribe of the Blue Devil Sea can always obtain resources from the Grass and Trees Spring Realm, it means that there must be a way to connect the two.
And there is a high probability that it is the kind that can be directly contacted, otherwise Dean doesn't think that the sea tribe in the Grass and Trees Spring Realm are really that stupid, handing over whatever they have, and willingly picking up what others pick out, without any selfishness at all.
This is what he thought and asked.
But when he spoke, Dean didn't actually have high hopes for getting an answer.
After all, it is information about the way of communication between the two regions. Even if it is not confidential, it is certainly not something that can be disclosed to outsiders casually.
However, the results far exceeded his expectations.
After listening to his question, the leading sea tribe member gave the answer without thinking as if he had heard an ordinary household question.
The same goes for his companion. Not only did he not think there was any problem, he even helped to fill in the details when he found omissions.
For a moment, Dean felt that he should feel a little bit guilty for his villainous behavior just now.
Of course, this vague feeling of guilt soon ended in the answers given by several sea tribesmen.
It was not until after listening to their replies that Dean realized why the other party answered his question so simply.
The reason is simple, because no one can use this passage except the Sea Clan.
Dean guessed correctly. In the depths of the ocean in the Spring Land of Grass and Trees, there is indeed a teleportation array leading to the Blue Devil Sea. It can span two areas and teleport targets from the Spring Land of Grass and Trees to the Blue Devil Sea.
Moreover, this is a very rare two-way teleportation array. It can be used not only on the side of the Grass and Tree Spring Realm, but also on the other side of the Blue Devil Sea to reach the Grass and Tree Spring Realm.
This provides a powerful force guarantee for the Sea Tribes in the Grass and Trees Spring Realm, ensuring that the Sea Tribes here can receive military support from their fellow tribesmen when they encounter danger.
It's a trump card to ensure safety.
And it's still very difficult to destroy.
Because its location is so unique, in the deepest part of the sea.
If you want to get close, you not only have to face strong water pressure, but also hundreds of deep-sea monsters.
According to Dean's understanding, the deep-sea monsters that can live at this depth are usually very ferocious. Coupled with the environmental advantages, the combat effectiveness of these monsters will only be higher than that of land monsters of the same level, not lower.
Their existence is equivalent to a natural protective barrier that wraps up the teleportation array layer by layer. In such a dangerous environment, except for the Sea Tribe, which has an innate advantage, no other race can enter it and activate the teleportation array.
After clarifying this point, Dean will know why the Sea Tribe did not hide the news.
Since it is a trump card that cannot be targeted, it is better to bring it to the table than to hide it.
The bright cards that have been played will, at some point, be more intimidating than the dark cards hidden behind the scenes.
At the same time, it will also help the Sea Clan gain a foothold in the Spring Land of Grass and Trees.
Like Blue Star, the sea in another world is also extremely fertile. If you want to defend this territory full of treasures, it is necessary to show your fangs appropriately.
However, in Dean's view, this two-way transmission may not be entirely a good thing for the Sea Tribe in the Grass and Trees Spring Realm.
On the bright side, this is indeed a channel to obtain support from the Blue Devil Sea, but on the other side, it is also a good channel for collecting tributes.
People will know exactly what they have gained by inspecting the territory.
They basically have no room for small tricks, but they can't just be obedient and pick up what others pick out in exchange for the protection of another sea tribe.
But Dean didn't believe that for so many years, the Sea Clan in the Spring Land of Grass and Trees had been serving as a resource bank for others, and he would not have any resentment in his heart.
Otherwise, they would not pay attention to combat-type familiars.
Hiding all kinds of doubts in his heart, Dean led several sea tribesmen to the gathering place of water monkeys.
When they arrived at their destination, the little water monkeys were playing in the pool. With the movements of the demon pets, subtle purifying power spread from the place where they came into contact with the lake water to the entire small lake.
Although the power of purification was weak, it actually worked, and the eyes of several sea tribesmen shone brightly.
They readily placed an order with Dean for two hundred water-playing monkeys, directly clearing out one-third of the current stock of water-playing monkeys in the breeding house. Dean originally wanted to mention some water-playing monkeys. There was a question about food. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the sea tribe next to him holding a little monkey playing in the water. He took out a handful of sea spirit mushrooms from his pocket and handed it to him.
This mushroom looks very familiar to Dean.
Because he had just eaten mushroom soup made with it yesterday morning.
What did Lucy say?
It’s rare to find rare ingredients, and each one the size of the knuckle of your index finger costs one silver.
Dean shut up in an instant, looking at the sea tribe who didn't seem to feel that he was feeding high-grade ingredients, and silently skipped the topic of food.
Excluding this small incident, the entire transaction process was still very pleasant.
Several employees of the Haizu Breeding House bought the water monkeys and quickly left. Before leaving, he also expressed to Dean his hope that he could breed a more powerful familiar.
Dean sent the group of sea people out of the breeding house from the other side, looking at their retreating figures with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Compared with the elves, the sea tribe seems to be a foreign race that is more optimistic about magic pets.
But Dean is not naive enough to think that the other person who told him so frankly about their relationship with the Blue Devil Sea was just a casual comment.
Now that even demon pets can understand human speech and do math problems, Dean is even less likely to regard these aliens who have the same high intelligence as himself as fools.
He treats people as fools and laughs at them for speaking freely. How does he know that they don't reveal it on purpose and use internal conflicts to induce him to discover business opportunities and breed demon pets with fighting power to resist the oppressors?
