"Haha! Hahahaha! So this time we passed without any danger!"
A group of Sioux tribe members were attracted to the scene in front of them. The voice belonging to the old man Lu Fen suddenly sounded in the ears of Duan Qing and others.
What a general, extremely proud display in front of these players who gradually became stunned: "It's okay, it's okay! It's best if everyone is in peace!"
"You, you actually managed to come out alive?" As expected, his behavior aroused doubts from Duan Qing: "Looking at the posture just now, I thought you were going to be eaten alive by those people."
"Who do you think I am? I am the president of the Lufen Chamber of Commerce!" Pointing to his nose, the old man Lufen's tanned skin seemed to be shining brightly under the sunshine on the grassland.
Guang: "Without a good mouth, how could our Chamber of Commerce survive in a place like this until today?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. When he first established the Chamber of Commerce, he looked like he was completely despairing and couldn't survive." Baibu Wushuang, who was crouching not far away, twisted himself up with disdain.
nose: "In the final analysis, he still looks timid and fearful of trouble. He cherishes his life so much that he is not as good as the women of the tribe -"
"What are you talking about? You know nothing! Why do you think I went through so much trouble to get in? Who did I lose my face just now for?"
"I didn't ask you to come here. You just squeezed your head in and got in. Not to mention losing face, no one would feel sorry for losing your life."
"You unscrupulous apprentice! How dare you speak to me like that! Do you really think you can defeat a strong man like Surtu? Do you really think you can survive the mouths of those Nashi beasts?"
"I'm not like you. The older I get, the less courageous I become. Wherever there is the most danger, there are us adventurers. After following you for so many years, my bowstring is almost rusty!"
"What a harmonious pair of master and disciple."
Looking at the rapid quarrels and scuffles between the two people close at hand, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if we, master and disciple, had such a good relationship... Ouch."
"What’s wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing. I was just beaten by a certain narrow-minded old woman." Duan Qing scratched his chest, then smiled bitterly and blocked the worried and doubtful sight of Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side:
"But this can be considered a good thing. At least no one has any life-threatening problems."
"That's right, only human life is the most important." The bodies that were almost fighting together separated a little, and then a voice belonging to Lu Fen sounded from the middle of the entangled figures of the old and the young: "Only if you save your life
, everything has just begun. Tiantian knows the use of being brave and fierce. The best result is that everyone is safe... Come, come back with me."
"Go back? Are you kidding me? Go back by yourself."
"You unscrupulous apprentice! You have wasted so much of my words! Do you know the truth about cherishing your life?"
"Ha, then who was almost beaten to death by Surtu just now? Don't forget that I am also a participant now. If I retreat without a fight at this time, you might not be the only one who is beaten to death.
ah."
"Speaking of which, what exactly did they talk about just now?"
Seeing the two people once again pulling each other's arms and fingers like a scuffle, Duan Qing on the side sighed and pointed forward again: "How did this Lu Fen talk to Surtu, and he was actually let go?"
?”
"How do I know? We didn't pay attention to that side just now." Looking in the direction of another tribal warrior who was fighting with Surtu again, Gedman's voice also became confused.
: "But from his point of view, now that he has come to this point, he will not let it go easily no matter what."
"The key is that after the battle just now, everyone can see that this archer is very strong." His eyes turned back to the player who was entangled with Lu Fen, and Duan Qing secretly curled his lips.
: "Even if President Lu Fen proposes any exchange conditions, most people from the Sioux tribe will not agree to it."
"Including Surtu, everyone now feels as if they are facing a formidable enemy." He quietly turned back to look at the crowd in the distance where the battle was getting fierce. Xue Ling Huan Bing's hands tightened involuntarily: "Even
We adventurers have all been recruited under special circumstances, so the battle that follows will surely be extremely difficult."
"It's simple, because the Sioux are no longer as powerful as they used to be."
I don't know when they separated from each other, and the panting voice belonging to Lu Fen then sounded beside Duan Qing and others: "We have lost Kroha and Narnaji has passed away. How can the Sioux find out?"
There are not many masters left, and they cannot withstand any big storms."
"Although the Nashi tribe is just a rising tribe, everyone has heard of their illustrious reputation and ferociousness." His words paused for a moment, and the rapid breathing that he continued to make also increased with time.
He became a little calmer as time went by: "No matter how weak a wolf cub is on the grassland, it is possible for it to kill a strong war horse, let alone an old horse that is almost emaciated to death?"
"The 'Barish' ceremony is a ceremony in which tribes bet on each other's future. No one wants to lose in this ceremony." Looking up at the blue sky, Gedman's exposed face was full of incomparable expressions.
With a heavy expression: "If we lose, then the name of the Sioux clan will probably disappear from the history of the Wind Continent."
"I didn't expect to encounter such exciting things as soon as I came to this continent... Hey, but I can't blame others." Asahi Dongsheng on the side frowned and sneered: "I heard that the person who took the initiative to challenge was that
The Su people themselves and the Nashi tribe are just accepting the challenge. If they fail to defeat them in the end, they will ask for it themselves."
"To be able to accept such a challenge in such an extraordinary period, the Nashi tribe's self-confidence is very inflated."
Duan Qing let out a deep sigh and turned his gaze away from the crowd and rolled his eyes involuntarily: "In other words, they have some reason to win. No matter how hard the Su clan tries, they will definitely win.
?”
"Even the Sioux people in their heyday probably wouldn't dare to say, 'Is there any way to win in such a ceremony?'" The one who answered him was Lu Fen, the old man beside him, and his
A different expression of disdain than in the past: "Unless they have all the information about the Sioux players, or some rules for victory..."
"The challenge proposed by the Su clan was also sudden. They who were on the passive side probably didn't arrange spies or anything like that in advance." He let out an equally disdainful snort, and Asahi Dongsheng's eyes slanted down.
On Lu Fen: "As for the law of victory - ha, does such a thing exist in this world?"
"Yes, there is. We even met it not long ago." As if he had just thought of some possibility, Duan Qing on the side replied hesitantly: "If it is the power of fate-"
The eyes looking at each other became heavy one after another, and the atmosphere of words between the people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group suddenly solidified in each other's air with the emergence of this taboo word. The atmosphere that was more effective than words also
Lu Fen, who originally wanted to continue speaking, choked the sound he wanted to make, and instead looked at the faces of the players in front of him with a slightly confused expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"How much information do you know about the Nashi tribe?" Duan Qing's question suddenly sounded in front of him: "Where are they? How many people are there specifically? What are the backgrounds of the masters inside?"
"You, you asked so suddenly, I don't know where to start." Looking back at the eyes that were all focused on him with some confusion, the old man Lu Fen's dark skin seemed to be oozing with blood.
A few drops of inexplicable sweat broke out: "What I know now is that there are probably hundreds of them, most of them are young and strong men. Not only are they very aggressive, but they also always launch collective attacks with the power of numbers...
…”
"That's the wolf pack tactic, right? Judging from your description." After a brief exchange of glances, Duan Qing's voice rang in front of Lu Fen again: "How did they fight with the Sioux people?"
What caused the conflict between the two tribes? "What is the source of the dispute between the two tribes?"
"I heard it's because of a mine in the north, located on the bank of the Barrow River." Pointing to the northeast of the settlement where they were located, Lu Fen replied in a soft voice: "Who discovered that mine first -
This problem is no longer important now. The situation has evolved to this point and everyone can only rely on fists to solve it."
"Mine?" Looking at each other again, Duan Qing tentatively asked each other: "What kind of mine? In a place like the Wind Continent where there are so many grassy fields, are there any mountains or mineral deposits?"
"Of course there is, whether it is mountains or mineral deposits, they are very rich." Lu Fen replied matter-of-factly: "If such a thing did not exist, how could such precious resources as the Wind Stone be obtained?
Woolen cloth?"
"What? You mean, that place produces--"
"It's the Stone of Wind."
He looked indifferently at the players and adventurers gathered in front of him, and the expression belonging to the old man Lu Fen finally became surprised: "Why, you don't know? Didn't the people from the Sioux tribe follow them either?
What did you say?"
"Almost all the information we have so far has been obtained by ourselves." Duan Qing pressed his forehead helplessly, and Duan Qing's sigh followed the movement of lowering his head: "But this matter doesn't matter at all now.
Importantly...the mine that the Sioux and Nashi tribe are fighting over is actually a wind stone mine?"
"That's right."
"It's really impossible to do without fighting." He said this through grinding his teeth, and an unconcealable helplessness appeared on the face of Gedman on the side: "Previously, I couldn't even buy anything in the clan.
Now you tell me that there is an entire mine by the river?"
"The scale of that mineral deposit is not large, and the exact size is still being explored." The old man Lu Fen continued the words of the big shield warrior: "But no matter how small it is, it is incomparable to the tribes entrenched on the edge of this continent.
A heavy fortune, so heavy that one could risk one's life for it."
"Now that area is a neutral area, and people from both tribes go to patrol every day." Baibu Wushuang on the side also whispered: "The state of war has passed, and large-scale battles no longer break out there, but small-scale battles
The friction will still appear sporadically, and it should remain like this until everything settles."
"When I heard the news, I thought I could make a lot of money here, but now I won't go into this muddy water again." The old man roared with resentment and regret, waving his arms.
Lu Fen then reached out again and pulled Baibu Wushuang: "Come with me quickly, let's get out of here."
"Hey, don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money?" Unexpectedly, Baibu Wushuang's struggle and resistance sounded in front of him: "As long as we can help one party win, then the subsequent business
Don’t we just talk about whatever we want? Look at these adventurers in front of us, they must have the same idea.”
"Hey, why did you finish all the lines for us?"
The outstretched arm slowly lowered, and Duan Qing's wry smile also sounded in front of the two figures who were torn together again: "Well, we did come here with this idea in mind, although judging from the situation in front of us,
Look, the situation may have changed a little bit."
"If you want to withdraw, we won't say anything."
He slowly stood up from his squatting position, and the tangled expression on his face gradually calmed down: "We will stay here and continue to participate in this ceremony."
"Come on, your skills are worse than my apprentices." Blocking the struggling body of Baibu Wushuang behind him, Lu Fen, who was still struggling, looked up and down at the appearance of the players in front of him: "And you
You all look like seriously wounded people... Hey, I really don’t know why Surtu keeps you here."
"Maybe it's because we are kind." Duan Qing blinked his eyes, and then smiled of his own: "When you came to recruit us to join the Chamber of Commerce, wasn't it for the same reason?"
"that is because--"
The words he wanted to say stayed in mid-air, and the old man Lu Fen's face, which had never shown a dignified expression since he appeared, finally began to become sluggish and stunned: "That's because, because... it's hateful."
"never mind."
I don't know if he thought of something indescribable. This thin old man with an old face looked at Duan Qing deeply, then threw away his hands, and gradually left towards the distance of the crowd of onlookers with a depressed look on his face: "
I don’t care anymore.”
"Just do whatever you like."
