Chapter 378 Passing
Chapter 378 Passing
Not long after, the three saw the Rat King, wearing clothes made of newly woven yellow cloth, and Modonik walking towards them, talking and laughing.
Behind the two of them were several other mole elders that Chen Cheng and his friends had never seen before.
Although the mole population here is large, its social model and power structure are still very crude.
Apart from the strongest king, there are several mole elders who are in charge of their own areas.
These elders are not required to be very powerful, but are required to be the best in the area they manage.
Because of this selection method, the elders of the mole tribe are mostly white-haired old moles.
For example, the old mole who has been with Chen Cheng and the others these days, although he has never seen such a thing as cotton, but from Chen Cheng's description and his experience, he knows that cotton is a truly good textile fiber.
This is also the reason why he would spare no effort to find the cotton seeds that had never been seen before.
The Rat King and the others came closer, and then he looked at Chen Cheng and the other man in front of him and quickly reached out his hand to hold their hands and said with a smile:
"I am really very grateful to you two. If you have any difficulties in life or work, you can ask me or the elders. As long as I can meet your needs, I will definitely meet them."
The Rat King did not mention letting them go, and Chen Cheng and the others already knew that the Rat King would not mention it, so he was just a little embarrassed, and then nodded to express his gratitude.
The Rat King naturally knew what Chen Cheng and the others were thinking, so he then diverted their attention and said:
"Behind them are the other elders of my tribe. I would like to trouble you two to explain this new textile technology to us."
It can be said that apart from the condition of letting Chen Cheng and the others go, the Rat King was actually very good to them.
Chen Cheng and his companions did not refuse, and then led the high-level leaders of the Mole Clan to explain the principles of the new loom. At the same time, he also mixed in the legends about these looms from previous lives.
Of course, he has his own set of rhetoric, just like the warp and weft in weaving, he can also relate it to governance.
Although Huidun and Moduonik knew about the loom, they had never heard of the legends about the loom in Chen Cheng's previous life.
At this time, Huidun was secretly admiring Chen Cheng's ability to deceive people. He could actually make up such a very reasonable story in such a short time.
If he didn't know that the naming rules of the people outside the cave were different from the name of the protagonist he mentioned, he would have really believed it.
The Rat King was not attracted by those legends. Instead, he was very interested in Chen Cheng's longitude and latitude extending to his rule.
The mole elders behind him looked at the delicate loom with shining eyes.
In their eyes, this is not just a simple piece of cloth, but the most valuable hard currency in the world.
You have to know that this underground world is quite large, and there are other tribes here besides their mole tribe.
And according to what they know, the productivity of other ethnic groups is similar to theirs.
And now they can produce such exquisite cloth, which is the hard currency of this world.
At that time, they had no concept of currency, but in the early society with insufficient productivity, cloth actually had the attributes of currency.
It can be said that none of the high-ranking members of the Rat Tribe were fools, and they all quickly realized how much benefit this exquisite cloth could bring to their tribe.
While they were excited, they also secretly despised the monkeys in their hearts. They believed that the monkeys must have mastered this technology long ago.
But these silly monkeys want to leave here and go to the outside world.
But it’s a good thing, fortunately these monkeys all want to leave, otherwise it might not be their mole tribe that dominates the cave world.
After explaining the loom and weaving method, we came to the dyeing room.
Huidun is handling the matters in the dyeing room, so it will be Huidun's turn to explain what is happening next.
Chen Cheng and Hui Dun looked at each other, and both knew that they had to take advantage of this opportunity.
Then Huidun replaced Chen Cheng's position, but the Rat King was still immersed in Chen Cheng's talk about governing the country. When he saw Huidun coming, he also wanted to hear what profound truths Huidun would talk about from the dyed cloth.
Just when they all focused their attention on Huidun, Chen Cheng came to Moduonik.
And Mo Duonik was not stupid. How could he not know that Huidun was a prince and aristocrat? How could he possibly learn this kind of dyeing technology?
Moreover, he had never heard of many of the names that Chen Cheng had just talked about with the Rat King, so he knew that Chen Cheng was fooling the Rat King.
And now Chen Cheng came to him and inadvertently pulled his sleeve, which was obviously a problem.
After Chen Cheng pulled Moduonik's sleeve, he walked to the door of the textile workshop and told the guard at the door that he wanted to go to the toilet.
Not long after he left, Moduonik also found the same reason to leave.
As he was leaving, the old mole who had been watching them smiled and gestured to the guard at the door:
"Since the adults need to go to the toilet, and they have never been here before, let him take them there."
Moduonik didn't show anything, but nodded.
And just as the guard was leaving, the old mole gave him a look.
This old mole was also afraid that Chen Cheng and the others would do something weird. You know, today was the day when the Mole King would come to inspect the preliminary results, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
Of course, he would not have thought that Chen Cheng and the others were plotting how to escape.
Because they knew about the armband that their king wore on Moduonik's hand. This thing was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the tribe.
Even the strongest fighter like the clan leader can't damage the arm ring at all.
So he would never have thought that Chen Cheng could destroy the armband and free Mondonic.
As long as they could control the strongest Moduonik, based on the information they had extracted from the eldest prince, they would not be able to cause any big waves with their strength.
This is also the reason why the Rat King readily told us the reason for releasing Chen Cheng and the others from their restraints.
Although these gophers can only dig holes to build nests, the ventilation system of the cave is still very good, and there is no smell in the cave toilet.
After the guard brought Moduonik to the toilet, he waited outside. After Moduonik went in, he pricked up his ears and listened quietly to the movements inside.
When Chen Cheng saw Mo Duonik coming in the toilet, he was about to speak, but Mo Duonik pointed outside and said:
"Brown, how have you been these days? I hope these gophers haven't given you any trouble."
Moduonik said to the outside.
At this time, Chen Cheng also understood, and he replied loudly:
"These gophers didn't neglect us, but it restricted our freedom. I really envy Huidun, because he can take people out for a walk every day."
The two of them spoke very loudly, and since it was a cave, the voices echoed continuously.
Taking advantage of the gap in the echo, Chen Cheng whispered to Mo Duonik:
"Governor, I will untie your armband now, but you cannot expose yourself yet. Tomorrow, a group of people will be released to go out with me to look for cotton seeds. Then, the Earl and I will take action. Then, you, the Governor, will just need to control the Rat King."
Chen Cheng quickly stated the general plan, and then he shouted to the outside while hissing:
"How about you? How are you doing? I see that the Rat King really admires you. I think you should just stay here and don't bother following us to find a way out."
