1635 Wind

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The unnatural atmosphere lingering in the camp disappeared into the night as the day ended, and then another day began with countless people acting silently and spontaneously. The chain of strange atmosphere belonging to this riverside then seemed to be forcibly nailed to the original place by countless ironclads.

Like a curtain on the ground, it tightly surrounds the senses of every person who moves silently as time passes. It seems to be a silent resistance to this silent atmosphere. The bonfire dinner belonging to Duan Qing and others and the various adventures unique to the adventurers

As time goes by, human provocations continue to appear all over the camp. They seem to have been forgotten by everyone, so they use their own different methods to try to regain the previous silent search and return.

A fact that is now almost forgotten.

Things did not develop exactly as they imagined, but their efforts played their due role after all. The attempt to break the situation finally received feedback in the rise of another force - it seemed that

Because there has been no progress in the search, many members of the Wabu tribe have finally begun to express their doubts. The uneasiness within the tribe does not seem to have diminished with the cooperation and joint actions of the Nasu tribe in the past two days.

It decreased, but became more and more as time went by. The oppressive atmosphere restricted by some kind of rhetoric or prohibition began to erupt one after another as more and more tribesmen stood up, and they accused those who used the search to

In the name of those foreign people who kept coming in and out of the vicinity, although these voices were quickly extinguished by the running of more Wabu warriors and the cold eyes of others, the impact they caused still grew like the sparks of a prairie fire. Very soon

Soon, there were voices of opposition among the migrating Nasu tribe. They believed that they had stayed here long enough and had no obligation to take responsibility for things they had not done.

"What do you think?"

Sitting high enough in the riverside camp, looking at everything around him, Baibu Wushuang heard an old and spiritual voice: "Don't you have any ideas about the current situation?"

"You still praise me too much, old... Lord Lu Fen."

Putting away his gaze that was used to guard the entire camp, Baibu Wushuang tilted his head and replied in vain: "I am not a cultural person like you who spends every day leisurely hiding in the carriage. Our duty is just

Standing guard, whether it's guessing other people's plots or playing tricks, is what you people should do."

"That's not possible. You have been following me for so long." Lu Fen shook his head and walked closer with his hands behind his back and let out a few inexplicable smiles: "Even if there is nothing in my head,

Growth, I will not miss every opportunity for you to experience it personally, not to mention——"

"I see that the adventurers who are running around in the camp have done a very good job in this regard." He turned around and looked at the scene around him, as if he had already seen from the daily busyness.

It belongs to the trajectory of Duan Qing and others’ activities: “At least it’s much better than you who only know how to fight.”

"...Hmph." He let out a disdainful snort, and the eyes of Baibu Wushuang, who was sitting on the top of the carriage with a long bow in his arms, finally turned to Lu Fen: "Could he be planning to lose to the opponent two days ago?

The ten barrels of milk wine should be counted on my head? That was your order."

"No, our Lufen Chamber of Commerce will never go back on our word." He raised his hands and shook them in front of himself. The old face belonging to Lu Fen also squeezed out a series of deliberate smiles at this moment: "But in the same way, you also

We should learn a little bit from this incident, right?"

"I know what you want to say. That Wabasi may indeed become the leader of the Wab tribe." He put away his gaze and replied in a low voice, Baibu Wushuang: "But I don't intend to go up to them either.

Unless you are willing to let me go and leave this Lufen Chamber of Commerce, I am pursuing this path."

"Ha, not only have I wanted to let you go once or twice, but it's because you don't want to leave." After blowing on his beard, the old man Lu Fen's old face was now filled with wrinkles from his stern face.

: "And that time was no better than now. Now you have better choices and more ways out. It's not too late to change the trajectory of your destiny."

"The fate of us adventurers has always been ups and downs, and it can change at any time and at any time." Still looking disdainful, Baibu Wushuang's reply became much deeper: "We will only remember the moment of change and the person who changed.

Those will become some of the best memories of our adventure.”

"..."

As if he understood what the other party was referring to at this time, the old man Lu Fen lost his voice for a moment. It was not until the sound of the wind around him rose between the two people as the noisy atmosphere in the camp began again that he smiled faintly.

Laughing: "Don't be too arrogant, little one. That belongs to me in terms of time and destiny. Don't just blame it on yourself."

"Oh? Then why do you still care so much about those adventurers? Do you see the shadow of your past self in them?"

"Your eloquence is much better than before - is this also the result of training in the past period?" Lu Fen did not feel angry or sad because of the other party's sarcasm. Lu Fen held up his chin and showed a smile: "Ah

, This is really a progress that makes people happy, very good, very good, even if you are still as ignorant and naive as a young eagle, I can rest assured."

"……old man."

Seemingly losing his patience in a conversation that offered no advantage at all, Baibu Wushuang put away his expression with a depressed look on his face: "If it's okay, don't bother me anymore, and go to your meeting quickly.

"

"You still say you don't have any ideas? Aren't you aware of all these important messages and intelligence?" As expected, his words brought an even more cheerful voice from the old man Lu Fen: "Don't continue to hide it deliberately.

Just say whatever you think, and as a representative of the Lufen Chamber of Commerce, I will try my best to listen to and adopt the opinions of many people within the chamber of commerce."

"I don't want to jump into this quagmire." Waving his hand casually, Baibu Wushuang seemed to have no intention of looking at the old man again: "Really, I don't know what's going on over there.

What kind of madness have you got that you have to be dragged into talking about such things?"

"Of course, after all, we are the Lufen Chamber of Commerce." The old man Lufen, who did not intend to continue teasing the player archer, turned and left with a faint smile on his lips: "Our caravan, as well as the

One hundred and eighty-two master guards——"

"These are the forces that can shake everything in this current situation."

The undercurrent surging under the turmoil converged towards the center of the camp settlement as the old man left. Along with it, there were many other representatives of various ethnic groups closely related to life and interests. They brought with them what they used as symbolic meanings.

The guards gathered in a large tent, and the eyes they gathered together were full of complex meanings: "Everyone, the search has been going on for five days, and it has exceeded the time limit we originally set.

.”

"Yes, since no one has found any useful results, we have to give up our existing ideas and speculations." Occupying one corner of the tent, Sutar, representing the Sioux side, folded his arms.

He put on his usual iron face: "It's time to discuss the next step. There's nothing wrong with waiting -"

"Shut up, Nasio!" It seemed that he didn't have the patience to listen to the middle-aged Sioux elder. Wabasi, who was sitting on the other side of the tent, slapped the table and roared angrily: "You are the least qualified.

People who say that! The suspicion on you has not been cleared yet!"

"Come on, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it wasn't them. They had no reason to do anything." Shaking his head, the old man Lu Fen, sitting at the back of the tripartite, replied with his eyes closed: "Of course that's the reason.

The same applies to us, because we have no reason to take action. If we coveted the cattle, sheep and horses of your little Wabu tribe, we would have taken action as early as the first day of arrival."

"you--!"

"Don't get excited, this is just a metaphor."

Pressing his hands downwards, the old man Lu Fen once again faced the menacing Wabu man with a smile on his face: "Put aside your inexplicable emotions and think about it, isn't the situation like this? We

There really is no motive.”

"Abandon? How could I abandon it!" Still looking extremely angry, Wabasi's sound of slapping the table became louder and louder as he shouted: "If your clan leader dies in the same situation,

Let me see if you still have the guts to say this again!"

"Our Lufen Chamber of Commerce does not have such a thing as a clan leader. As for the Sioux clan you are facing now...their clan leader has just ascended to heaven." Ignoring the spit that almost hit his face, the old man Lu Fen still looked relaxed and content.

Looks like: "So I'm sorry, if you really plan to keep going like this, we can't feel the same way."

"What did you say? You-"

"Speaking of which, this Wabu warrior is a bit angry today."

Pointing to Wabasi who was being pulled by his own warriors in front of him, he looked like he was about to rush forward and beat someone with blue veins on his face. Sutar, who was sitting on the spot with half-opened eyes, quietly asked beside him: "Has anyone provoked you?"

Him? Do you know?"

"Well...hehehe, I don't know too well." After wiping the sweat on his face, Gedman smiled dryly and replied: "Maybe my wife at home is angry. Last night

He won't be allowed to enter the tent or anything like that."

"Can't even control his own woman... Such a warrior cannot become the leader of a clan." Sutar frowned slightly, as if he was telling the truth, and sat upright again: "Okay.

Okay, you people, please stop arguing."

"If you don't want to end this meeting like this, then come up with more useful things." The calm look on his face made the two quarreling voices in front of him withdraw, and the middle-aged elder of the Sioux tribe looked solemn.

Di continued to ask: "Regarding the investigation into the death of Chief Wakabu - since you didn't let us get involved, I guess we should have found out something by now, right?"

"...The patriarch should have died of illness."

Looking at Wabas, who was looking at his home with his head lowered and not wanting to speak, another Wabu warrior standing behind him replied in a low voice: "We compared the scars on the patriarch's body with those left at the scene.

No fatal traces were found on the handle of the knife. The blood stains left at the scene may have been sprinkled there for other reasons."

"Before the burial, we invited the clan leader who is best at healing the body to check it out. The clan leader is most likely suffering from a sudden onset of old illness and has nothing to do with the so-called attack." He continued to say this while watching.

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely quiet: "As for why the patriarch died at this time -"

"Stop talking." Wabas, who interrupted the soldier's introduction and raised his hand, said angrily: "It's not because I don't believe these words that I want these guys to give the useful ones first.

Speak out the information."

"We are not murderers, how can we possibly provide useful information?" The old man Lu Fen who answered him raised his beard at the corner of his mouth: "Don't put the cart before the horse. You are preconceivedly treating us as murderers. This is very important to the investigators."

There is no use in knowing the truth."

"No, maybe it still has some use." Sutar, who still kept his arms folded and his eyes closed, put on a rigid and serious expression: "At least it will help us understand what happened that night.

Everything - please continue talking, people of the Wabu tribe."

"Continue? We don't want to continue." Wabas once again put aside his little emotion and turned his head to the side: "Unless you tell us more about you, including why you came here.

, why are you crowded with us in this place by the river, where did your Surtu go, and--"

"There is also something about the Varro ruins, right?"

A loud and deep voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and along with it, Surtu suddenly lifted the curtain and revealed his figure in the center of the tent: "How lucky, I thought you were already fighting.

"

"Sultu?" Different from the surprised expressions of others around him, Sutar, who was the first to ask questions, had a bit of a sigh in his voice: "At such an important moment, what are you doing?"

Where did you run to?"

"Sorry, someone needs me to complete some missions."

After saying hello to his elders, Surtu, who was also extremely tall, squeezed his body and sat in front of the Wabu tribe who raised their weapons: "Anyway, everything is too late, I will explain it to you, now -"

"Do you want to know what happened to the Varro ruins?" He waved to everyone around him, with a solemn expression on his face: "I can tell you now."

"Everyone better get ready to pack up and leave now because we need to stay away from that place."
