"The patriarch said it needs to be considered."
Some time later, late at night on January 10th, Year 796 of the New Calendar in the Free World, the figures belonging to Xueling Huanbing and Xuyu Liushang slowly returned to Duan Qing. They seemed to be in peace and had no quarrel at all.
The two women then sat on either side of the gray-robed figure who was staying safely on the edge of the settlement. The thought of speaking just now was temporarily stopped because they discovered the unusually keen sense: "We still have a little -
—Uh, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Duan Qing, who pinched his brow hard and was silent for a long time, finally let out the depression in his heart temporarily: "Just in case, I'd better ask first, did you promise anything to that clan leader?
?”
"The other party won't believe our words completely because of the unforeseen crisis for the time being, but we later revealed our identity as messengers of God, and they started to believe it." Looking at the direction where Xu Yuliu was sitting, Xue Ling Huan Bing
was the first to answer: "We admit that the way we came here is a little 'special', and we have promised them that we will use the same...same method..."
The sense of disobedience in the reaction of the man in front of him became more and more intense. The white-haired Xueling Huanbing finally put away what he had not finished saying: "No way? You can't send us all back?"
"Large-scale teleportation array is one of the highest-level space magics, not to mention long-distance teleportation."
He loosened his hand on his brow a little, and Duan Qing's voice broke the silence that gradually spread among several people: "The theory and composition of space magic, the stability of spell casting, three-dimensional space coordinates, and the safety of transmission—
-The so-called energy supply is a trivial matter in the face of these problems. Even if I am determined to take out all the magic gems stored in it, it will not be a problem to charge a teleportation circle, but-"
"In short, without Violet's help, this large-scale teleportation circle would have been impossible to complete." He waved his hands to the left and right, and at the same time showed his wry smile to the two people: "You promised too early.
Already."
"Well, our status as envoys may come to an end here." Xu Yu Liushang shook his head with regret on his face: "What a pity. We originally planned to continue to fulfill this status well."
"I'm warning you, don't come up with any weird ideas." Duan Qing immediately widened his eyes and warned the other party: "We already have enough enemies in front of us, let's not add any more extraneous things, okay?"
"I have no such idea."
Putting his hands on his thighs covered with white armor, a bright smile appeared on the face that was just a few steps away as he whispered: "It's enough to have an identity like 'Witch', and I don't think anything of it."
If I want to be myself again, the me before was too immature, like a little girl who likes to lose her temper, right?"
"What do you want to say?" As expected, her words triggered a cold response from Xue Ling Huan Bing on the other side: "The title 'Witch of Time' has been heard of me for a long time, even if I only joined the professional world later.
The deeds behind you will make even the people who hear them feel cold all over."
"It's a pity that I have become a swordsman now and no longer play my role as a magician." He didn't care about his opponent's sarcastic remarks. He murmured with his fingers and held the side of his face with a narcissistic expression: "
But this is just right. I can help Brother Qing with my experience in using magic, unlike some people who just forget about failing on their own and have to come here with a shy face every day to 'ask for advice'..."
"What did you say--"
"Stop it."
Placing a pause gesture between the two women who were facing each other, Duan Qing resisted the urge to forcefully separate the two breaths that almost collided: "I personally have no objection to which of you two wants to be a witch, as long as you can
Just help us get through the current crisis - the people of this tribe called the Tatar tribe are still waiting for the results."
"It's hard to say, just let them wait." He crossed his arms and curled his lips with disdain, and then returned his questioning gaze to Duan Qing: "Speaking of which, we can't return.
What's the reason? Did Violet abandon us?"
"No, she just thinks that we can continue to play forward." As if he mentioned a sad topic, Duan Qing, who put down his gesture, became sad again: "Anyway, the original responsibility of our team is to pull more
The strong labor force belongs to the floating island force. In fact, whether we return to the island is not our ultimate goal. Since we have a way to take root on the earth, it is not a bad idea to continue to lead another team to move forward."
"Even if this team looks so weak, it must always bear the threat of the beast tide?" Xueling Huanbing couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't this the real reason?"
"The real reason is that the space on the floating island is limited, and she is too lazy to manage so many people." The corner of his mouth curled up in a wry smile, and Duan Qing's eyes also shifted to the white-haired woman: "My cheap tutor has been there since
When he was in the empire, he failed to properly manage his own tower forces and magic apprentices. The result he brought upon himself in the end was predictable. The floating island is now larger than that time, and the number of people has begun to increase.
more and more……"
"It seems that we are in urgent need of a management talent." With a more confident smile on his face, Xu Yuliu, who was leaning next to Duan Qing, squeezed his eyebrows: "For example -"
"Your identity is only suitable for managing adventurers and forcibly managing NPCs... The aborigines on the Wind Continent are not suitable at all." Xueling Huanbing interrupted the other party unceremoniously: "Not to mention the Wind Continent.
The lifestyles and beliefs and habits of the grassland people on the mainland are very different from the ordinary people we know."
"I don't really plan to become the lord of a city or something like that. That will only make me farther and farther away from Tianfeng." He curled his mouth with disdain, murmured, and then stretched out his hand with a happy look on his face.
Pulling Duan Qing's arm: "Since the great magician hates crowds so much, then we can help her."
"Let's take the people and move on." She and Duan Qing looked at each other with lamented expressions for a moment, and then waved their hands forward in high spirits: "We walked to the sacred mountain on our own feet!"
"Don't make trouble, this is simply a fantasy." Duan Qing also held his eyebrows with a headache: "If we continue to develop at this rate, we may be able to see the beast tide army in the west tomorrow."
"If you really decide to do this, then we'd better leave as soon as possible." His eyes became determined because of his determination. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up with Huo Ran: "Go and explain to the clan leader.
Let’s take a moment, let’s—huh? What’s wrong? Any other questions?”
"I have always admired your decisiveness in doing things." Duan Qing patted his hand and then extended his finger towards the late night in front of the settlement: "Unfortunately, when I communicated with the tribesmen here before,
I already knew it."
"They can't cross this line."
*********************************
"Yes, the Tartars cannot cross this line."
After leading Duan Qing and the three of them outside the settlement, the tribal warrior named Adamu also pointed his finger directly in front of the dark grassland: "According to the heritage of our tribe and the past decisions of other major tribes,
According to the custom, only strong tribesmen can cross this line and enter the scope of the central grassland."
"So, if you pass through this place, it is considered the sphere of influence of the Central Grassland?" Duan Qing took out his adventurer map and compared it back and forth. Duan Qing looked around in surprise: "Why don't you see anything like this?
A large group of cavalry and patrol troops like the Hulun people?"
"This is the edge of the central grassland. People from the big tribes generally don't go so far." Shaking his head, Adamu pointed forward stiffly: "They sometimes appear in that area.
At the end of the grassy slope, check the boundary line. As long as there are no accidents or abnormalities, they will not come over."
"There is another situation, that is, when a tribe wants to migrate to this grassland area." As if he was talking about something more important, the tribal warrior turned his face serious again: "Although there is news about the tribes on the grassland.
Although such a large-scale operation cannot be hidden from everyone’s eyes, people from the central tribe will also come to witness the emergence of the new central tribe.”
"Or bury them here with your own hands."
The tone became deeper, and Adamu's eyes fell directly to his feet. Duan Qing, who smelled a hint of murderous aura, also noticed the meaning of these words, as if there were corpses buried under the grassland in front of him.
A mountain of blood and a sea of blood: "...In other words, if the Tartars cross this line, you will also suffer the same treatment, right?"
"Yes, because we have not been recognized by those big tribes." Adamu nodded calmly: "We are not qualified to become a big tribe."
"Then why have you been staying in this fringe area?" Xueling Huanbing, who was also standing aside, then asked: "Isn't it always dangerous here?"
"No, only small tribes like ours are qualified to survive in the gaps between large spheres of influence." Adamu shook his head: "For so many years, we have been using this method to maintain the continuation of the tribe.
Those tribes who have great ambitions and regard conquering the sacred mountain as their everything, never care about the survival of small tribes like us."
"We have witnessed countless tribes walking in from here, and countless tribes walking out from here." Like a guard who has been waiting here for thousands of years, the tribal warrior turned and put his spear in front of himself: "Their last
We don’t know what the outcome will be, but we can always survive.”
"Many people who survive in the cracks will become like you." Duan Qing responded in a low voice: "But the situation is a little different now."
"That's right, according to what you said, our place will soon be flooded by the tide of beasts." Adamu lowered his head again: "Even if we use various methods to avoid this disaster, there will be more to come.
The Hulun people are approaching."
"You seem to know the Hulun people very well." Xuyu Liushang, with his arms folded, also raised his own question: "Can you tell me your impressions of them?"
"According to the records passed down by our tribe, the Hulun people should have migrated to this area more than a hundred years ago." Shaking off his low aura, Adamu turned and faced the surging western sky: "
Like other tribes that left this grassland, they were a tribe that was driven out of the central tribe's sphere of influence. Although they did not look like such a weak tribe in the past or now. "
"The situation is the same as what we learned." They looked at each other, and Duan Qing coughed and replied: "And judging from this situation, it is impossible for them to stop their pursuit of revenge.
"
"Every tribe that has left this life-and-death line has threatened to 'come back one day.'" Adamu's expression remained unchanged: "But few people can leave us with the same impression as the Hulun tribe.
, their troops are mighty and their warriors are extremely brave.”
"Such a tribe withdrew from the Central Grassland and withdrew from the qualification to compete for the voters of the Holy Mountain. We can only think that there are other reasons." He took a deep breath after saying this: "Now it seems -"
"Now it seems that that reason is becoming a reality." Duan Qing said this sentence on behalf of the other party, and continued with an affirmative voice: "The beast tide disaster has become what it is now, and it must be because of their connivance.
result."
"Everything is based on the fact that what you said before is true." Shaking his head again, Adamu's eyes gradually became firm: "The patriarch may still be hesitant, but I think we
We shouldn't wait here any longer - instead of facing a certain death outcome, we might as well choose a path that is possible to survive."
"I'm glad you have such foresight." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied with a smile: "You and other young tribal warriors must also think so."
"I can't guarantee it, but -"
Looking towards the depths of the endless dark grassland behind him, Adamu took back his spear: "I will try my best to persuade them. I will do my best."
"I still have to remind you that we don't have much time." Pointing to the adventurer's map in his hand, Duan Qing gestured towards the west: "We must set out tonight, otherwise we won't even think about seeing the sun again."
"..."
"If you still have concerns, we have another suggestion."
Sensing the hesitation in the footsteps of the tribal warrior who wanted to turn around and leave, Duan Qing once again spoke to the back: "You don't have to force yourself to persuade everyone in the tribe."
"Whether a tribe is strong or not does not necessarily depend on the number of people. There are also advantages to having fewer people."
