"Huha! It's so refreshing!"
Some time later, on the night of March 1, 796 in the New Calendar, the Nasu migratory team that had temporarily stopped finally set up their own camp as night fell. They were close to each other and used only
The few remaining wind stones barely resisted the strong wind that blew across the grassland at night, gradually burning bright bonfires one after another. The carriages were also surrounded, and the Lufen Chamber of Commerce, who was responsible for guarding and escorting the tribal team, was here.
At that time, they also entered a state of defense accompanied by various shouts and shouts. However, in the eyes of others and outsiders, the appearance and attitude of these people on guard were actually much different from what they imagined: "After work,
Have a drink - nothing in the world tastes better than this glass of wine!"
"That's right, especially after the battle. Every time I drink something like this, I will sigh that I am still alive in this world."
"At least they are much stronger than those idiots from the Sioux tribe. Without the Wind Stone to live on, and with so many people in their family, how can they complete this migration alive? Humph, I, Luck, am the first one not to believe it.
!”
"Shh, keep your voice down. They are our employers now. Be careful if someone comes to the president and complains, and they may deduct your drink money."
"This group of people...are simply more adventurers than us adventurers."
Also located next to one of the bonfires in the camp, the big shield warrior named Gedman then slowly took off the wine bottle from his face: "Let alone work, they seem to treat things like life and death.
He is also more free and easy than us."
"We are just a little guilty now. We don't know where we will be resurrected after death." Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was also pouring the wine in his hands, replied lazily: "Even if we are resurrected and returned to that place after death,
In the unfinished buildings surrounded by walls, it will eventually become a big problem."
"It stands to reason that our current resurrection point should be moving with the temporary station, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being." Still maintaining the dagger and shield in his hand, Xue Ling Huan Bing said in a low voice: "But if the next day
If we continue our journey, if these camps are demolished again, our resurrection point will probably disappear as well."
"What's the use of talking about these unnecessary things, as long as you don't die." After saying this helplessly, Duan Qing's well-preserved hand was constantly moving in front of him: "Although right now
Judging from the situation-"
"It's probably very difficult to do this."
The action of operating the potion bottle paused slightly for a moment, and his eyes fell on another bonfire not far away. The man from the Nashi tribe who had been arrested earlier was also at this time among countless Nasu people.
Under the hostile gaze of the tribesmen, he drank heavily from the wine in his hand: "--poof! It's so refreshing! This sip of wine after the disaster is simply the most delicious wine in the world!"
"As a warrior, I suggest you fill your stomach first." Sitting on the other side of the bonfire with his arms folded, the current chief of the Nasu tribe named Surtu also had his eyes closed and a look on his face.
He replied calmly: "Otherwise it will cause great damage to your body."
"Ha, this is the funniest joke I've heard in a while." Slowly putting down the wine bottle in front of him, the Nashi captive looked sideways at the other person's face with weak eyes: "My body
Recovery? This doesn’t seem like good news to you, does it?”
"Of course, if you weren't like you are now, we might have tied you up long ago and thrown you into the most closely guarded carriage." Pushing aside the Sioux soldiers who were about to move, Surtu pushed aside
Still closing his eyes: "But - with your strength, even if you are tied up, you can still find a way to break free, right?"
"Shi Ayun."
He repeated the name, and his eyes that suddenly opened were filled with divine light. The Nashi captive who was struck by this sharp light then turned around and lay down holding the wine bottle.
He fell on the other side of the bonfire: "I am really flattered to be praised like this by the first warrior of the Sioux tribe."
"There is no need to say any unnecessary nonsense. You and I know the basics." Surtu's face turned to Shi Ayun and became much more solemn: "The first warrior of the Nashi tribe once stood tall with the Nashi tribe.
The top person...why did you end up like this?"
"Have you finally asked this question?" A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the weak man named Shi Ayun replied calmly with a deep laugh: "I thought you didn't plan to ask me this question, and then
I will be executed on the spot."
"We are not as cruel and unreasonable as you Nashi people." His body leaned forward involuntarily, and Surtu's voice also became deeper: "But this is because of your current appearance, and
For the sake of the honor of being a warrior, and considering what our tribe has just experienced before, I cannot guarantee whether you will become a thorn in the eyes of fellow tribesmen if you continue to remain silent."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Shi Ayun, who inadvertently glanced at the Sioux warriors who were eyeing them around, lowered his head again while holding the wine bottle: "Anyway, even if you don't ask, I
I will tell you sooner or later."
"After all, I can only rely on you for protection now." He raised his wine bottle and gestured in a low voice towards the direction the entire team came from: "Now that I have become a 'betrayer'."
"I thought only our tribe would have traitors."
Silence spread near the bonfire. After a long time, Surtu's voice slowly sounded under his gaze: "I didn't expect you to become a traitor? You would actually betray the tribe?"
"The situation forces me to do nothing." Shi Ayun, who was half lying on the ground, raised his weak arm after letting out two laughs that were either bitter or joyful. "It's not that I don't want to be the war blade of the tribe.
The tribe wanted to give up on me, so I had no choice but to give up my title as the number one warrior."
"But I heard before that you lost the battle with Shilong, so you gave him the title of No. 1 Warrior." He twisted his eyebrows, and Surtuna fell on the opponent's face.
His eyes became sharp again: "Why did you just give me away?"
"Really? Since they said so -" Shi Ayun, who arched his body vigorously and tried to sit up, then returned half of his face, which was covered by messy hair, back to the futile movement.
: "Then... let's respect their last words a little bit. Anyway, as a loser, it doesn't matter what happens to me now."
"Since you are planning to admit it, I won't ask further about this matter." After looking at the other party for a while, Surtu finally gave up the idea of continuing to ask: "But the next question is
The key: Why did you come here? And you blocked us?"
"Hey, hey, I'm lying on the grass because I'm exhausted. Can I block your way?" Glancing at the other party with disdain, Shi Ayun put down his weak arm again: "In order to escape from the tribe's pursuit,
I tried my best."
"Escape from pursuit?" So Surtu widened his eyes again: "Escape from who?"
"Of course it's the Nashi tribe. After all, I am a traitor." Pointing to the north again, Shi Ayunna also had a look of amazement on his face: "Why, even if you don't consider other reasons, do you think they will let a
Can a person who has mastered many secrets of the tribe and was even once the first warrior of the tribe just leave peacefully?"
"In other words, the group of Nashi tribe we encountered earlier were actually following your trail?" A look of surprise appeared between Surtu's eyebrows: "What secrets have you mastered?
, you actually let them chase you for so long?”
"The time they chased me was earlier than the time they went to massacre you." Shi Ayun, who did not directly respond to Surtu's question and continued to drink wine, replied in a low voice: "Barrow River,
The settlement area, the Suilan Line, and then the west coast of the Endless Sea - the tribe must have given them a life and death order to make them pursue it for so long."
"Although I think it's unlikely, I still want to ask." The posture that had been sitting there without any movement changed slightly. Surtu, who closed his eyes, picked up the wine bottle in front of him: "You
Are you asking us to pick you back because you want us to keep you?"
"As expected of the Su clan's number one warrior - ah no, he is the current clan leader." His voice suddenly rose a little, and Shi Ayun's expression also became happy: "I have no way out, even food and water
They have all been used up. As long as you are willing to spare my life, it doesn’t matter how you deal with me—"
"Do not make jokes!"
He punched the grass beside the campfire hard, and the angry look belonging to Surtu gradually disappeared into his calm look: "...I mean, our tribe is no longer able to protect itself.
, both wind stones and food are already difficult to distribute, and cannot provide you with a guarantee of survival at all."
"As expected of Surtu who has picked up the sword again, he has considered the problem much more thoughtfully than before." His eyes inadvertently fell on the surface of the long sword exposed at the waist of the other party, and Shi Ayun slowly put away his sword.
Casual expression: "Yes, even if it is for the safety of the tribe itself, you should not accept me as a burden and hidden danger now."
"So in order to make it easier for you to accept, I will come up with more exchange conditions." He loosened his fingers on the wine bottle and made an innocent gesture towards the other party: "Just treat it as a transaction.
.”
"As long as you can provide me with a little help when I can't cope, I can guarantee that you will never suffer in the end."
************************************
"So the situation has become what it is now."
As another early morning dawned, the migration team belonging to the Nasu tribe set off towards the front again. Duan Qing, who was called away during the rest, then walked back to his team with a wry smile on his face and walked towards the surroundings.
The other players introduced the frail man behind them: "This guy is now handed over to us."
"Hey, is this really appropriate?" Everyone in the Qingling Adventure Group, who ignored Shi Ayun who looked at them with interest and pulled Duan Qing aside, also asked in low voices in disbelief.
: "According to what you said before, isn't this guy a prisoner of the Nashi tribe? And he is the one who is being hunted all the time."
"I know, but this is Surtu's intention, what can I do?" Spreading his hands to his companions around him, Duan Qingna answered with a voice full of helplessness: "Since those Su people
If you are so relieved, what else can I say no to?"
"His name is Shi Ayun, right? If I remember correctly, we should have heard this name before." Gedman, who had the calmest face, took the lead and whispered: "According to Shi Tuo's words during the duel ceremony,
That guy should be the former number one warrior of the Nashi tribe, why now—"
"Of course a lot has happened."
Putting on a harmless look, the weak man named Shi Ayun finally shuffled to the side of several people: "Look at the faces of you adventurers who don't understand anything.
, that guy Surtu really didn’t tell you anything... Well, even for the sake of my future life, I will sell you some information."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for you to ask Surtu himself?" Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side crossed his arms and said coldly: "Why bother us specifically?"
"Please understand my current situation - I am a prisoner now, which is worse than you Nasio people who are wandering around now."
Amid the shouts that gradually reverberated around him, the weak-looking Nashi captive walked towards the carriage behind Duan Qing as if nothing had happened, passing through the eyes of countless people staring at him.
He then casually climbed up to the edge of the carriage belonging to Duan Qing and others. His laborious and slow movements did not seem to have any connection with the title of the first warrior: "In order to survive here, I just have to
I can obey whatever the nobleman does to me. Since he has dealt with me to you, I have no choice but to come to you."
"Of course, according to his own words, it is best for me, who proposed the 'trading conditions', to be handled by you who also like trading."
Finally climbing within the confines of the carriage, the wild-haired man who was talking to himself then showed a thin smile to Duan Qing and others: "So -"
"I will trouble you from now on, adventurers."
