With the flow of people, the grassland area around Shitai has also become a temporary settlement place for countless tribal warriors who come to participate in the competition. They come from various tribes from all over the world. At this time, they also use the existing weapons they have on hand.
Resources, so countless temporary tents were set up around it - I don't know whether it is because of the players selected for the ceremony or because of the fallen people with similar fates, but there is not even any mutual hostility or conflict between these warriors gathered together.
Duan Qing, who was walking here, could even see some of the guys who had been eliminated from the selection ceremony leaning carelessly among the debris in the tent, holding up their wine glasses and laughing with the other warriors who were still here.
The scene: "Old York! Hahahaha old York! Have you been eliminated too?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Bruchin! How could I lose to those young people like you! Although I haven't raised my sword for a long time, the blade is still sharp!"
"I heard that guy Cobela also won today and went to the tent over there early to drink... That guy definitely didn't come for the selection ceremony! He definitely just came to eat and drink!"
"If you had his ability, you could come here to eat and drink. And with the abilities of the envoys and her envoys, there seems to be nothing wrong with staying here to eat and drink. Haha.
Ha ha!"
"This is it."
The raised ears were interrupted by a whisper from the figure in front of him. The body belonging to Shi Lei also stopped in front of one of the corners of the tent group that appeared in front of Duan Qing. Several soldiers were also lingering here.
At this time, they were also gathered in the messy tent, holding their own wine glasses tightly. They seemed to have collapsed from drinking: "... Ouch, isn't this... Shrey? Why is it so... fast today?
Just, just...back?"
"After the beating, he will naturally come back." Being accustomed to the "corpses" lying on the ground like mud in front of him, Shrey expressionlessly broke away the other party's hand that was trying to pull his trousers: "Alright.
Yes - can you go somewhere else to drink next time? This is not a place for drunkards."
"No, don't be so stingy... Hiccup!" He shook his hand drunkenly, turned over his body and struggled for a long time. The drunken warrior then opened his sleepy eyes: "Come on, come on, come on, you come too
Two drinks! As long as you're drunk, you won't have to worry about those troublesome things... Hey hey hey, what's going on? There have been too many duels recently? Why... I seem to... see... the messenger
grown ups……"
"You read that right, so you should drink less next time." Shrey frowned and sighed, bending down and lifting this man and his unconscious companion next to him like a chicken.
He held it in his hand: "Now - don't delay my business."
Swish.
Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was holding their noses, twitched at the corners of their mouths. The Nashi warrior carrying a long knife just threw all the drunken people in the tent out one after another, and shot through the air several times.
The voice was then mixed with another burst of laughter from afar, and came back to the ears of the gray-robed magician from the direction where the door curtain was raised: "He, they should be okay?"
"Of course it's okay, it's not winter now." As if he didn't want to continue cleaning up the messy tent interior, Shrey casually dragged an animal skin chair and sat down: "And they can be considered warriors, even if they are left on the grassland in winter
You won’t freeze to death easily.”
"Is the winter on the grassland very cold?" Duan Qing also casually grabbed a stone bench and continued to ask in a natural voice: "The kind that every tribe on the grassland is very afraid of?"
"Tribes and warriors are generally not afraid, but it is still a troublesome thing after all." Frowning his brows, Shrey looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was also sitting down: "The fertile grassland will change.
If there are not enough, the beasts will hide, and in order to survive the winter, many preparations and food reserves will become troublesome..."
"It doesn't seem like we're here to talk about this."
Waving his hands to interrupt the topic, the soldier sitting in front of Duan Qing and others then became a little irritable: "But let's talk about it first. I can't tell you this news in vain."
"Of course, we know the rules very well." After looking at each other, Xueling Huanbing was the first to answer the other's words: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with us and provide us with the information we want, we will do the following duel ceremony.
Remember your name."
"That's good." He nodded his head, and Shrey's expressions and movements that looked around also stopped: "Anyway, those things about the Nashi tribe, I have been driven out of there, and there is nothing good for me.
Hidden - the Nakhi tribe you just mentioned, we did have contact with them before."
"To be precise: under the secret instructions of someone, we had a cooperative relationship with them." Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing looked at each other in confusion. The wild-faced warrior closed his eyes tightly.
His expression also looked much more listless: "At that time, in order to... ahem, in order to hunt down the escaped Sioux people, we have been following you. You should know something about what happened later. The people from the Ke people tried to stop you.
pace."
"I admit, that's what we asked the Nako tribe to do." At this point, his voice became a little softer: "In other words, someone behind these two tribes pulled the strings between them and made them cooperate.
In exchange for their intention, the Nashi tribe promised the Nake tribe 200 cattle and sheep, ten wind stones, and 20% of the materials that might be stolen from the Su tribe after success, in exchange for the Nake tribe's intervention.
stop."
"In the end, it failed - the agreement between you must have been invalidated." Duan Qing grinned, and then stared at Shrey's face: "You know so much in detail."
"After all, I was once considered one of the warriors of the Nashi tribe, an existence that could sit in the Council of Elders." Shrei snorted with disdain, raised his eyebrows, and then lost it again: "But now
, none of this has anything to do with us.”
"To actually exclude a core figure like you, the Nashi tribe seems to be really crazy." He touched his chin and commented seriously. Xue Ling Huan Bing then raised his head again: "Later
Woolen cloth?"
"That was the last cooperation between the Nashi and Nak tribes."
Seemingly understanding the purpose of the question asked by the other party at this time, Shrey shook his head again: "We did not propose the cancellation of the agreement, and the other party did not take the initiative to propose anything. That tribe seemed to be after that incident.
All activities have ceased, and there are very few external activities and news.”
"Later, they left that place." The voice of the grassland warrior became deeper again: "For us tribes in the north, tribal migration is simply a common thing, and they went there again
Where it is, we don’t know.”
"Did someone behind your two tribes give them new instructions?" They looked at each other again, Xue Ling Huan Bing covered her mouth and continued to ask: "That person you don't know,
Transferred their tribe to other places?"
"Is this the reason why you have been pursuing those guys so eagerly?" Shree showed a wild and ferocious expression again, staring at the faces of the players present: "They are also here now, right?
"
"Perhaps you haven't seen Kilger, who was once the leader of the Nak tribe, here, but the Nak tribe itself is indeed fighting at the Barish Conference on the other side." Pointing to the east outside the tent,
Duan Qing replied helplessly: "They have changed a lot now. We suspect that the mysterious person you mentioned is guiding them behind the scenes."
"Can you tell us more about that mysterious person?" Xueling Huanbing on the other side also stretched out his hand: "For example - have you seen them? What do they look like? What are they using?
What kind of weapons and equipment?”
"I can't answer any of the questions you asked." Shrey gritted his teeth as he recalled some past memory: "I only saw them from a distance when I discovered these clues later.
When they met with our clan leaders, they were all wearing black cloaks, and their faces, looks, and weapons were not shown."
"But as long as you want to see them, you will have a chance to see them sooner or later." After saying this, Shrey grinned with an inexplicable stern smile: "Because -"
"As far as I know, the Nashi tribe also came to participate in the Barish Conference."
*********************************
Of course, the Nashi tribe also came to participate in the Barish ceremony. Since Shrei is already here, they have no reason not to come here. The people sent by the central tribe to investigate quickly found out about the Nashi tribe’s participation.
The news was brought back to Duan Qing's ears, but the news was naturally a little beyond their expectations - they heard that this small tribe, which was also not well-known in the eyes of the big tribes, finally won all of them.
Won the first group duel.
Although the methods they use to win are completely different from the Nak people.
"It is said that it was a battle that cost lives."
Putting down the parchment roll in his hand for recording information, Duan Qing, who was frowning, sighed in a low voice: "They don't have any extraordinary strength or fancy methods, nor any hidden moves. They
It’s simply because the will to fight is so strong that it scares all those opponents.”
"Of course, in the words of Bai Bu Wushuang, who sent this news back here, fighting will is a nicer way of saying it." He looked up at the Snow Spirit Huan Bing sitting on the other side of the room in the dark interior of the tower.
, Duan Qing raised the piece of paper in his hand: "Actually, they are a group of mad dogs - they are like crazy, half-dead and dragging the people around them into the water to be buried with them. I heard that several of the soldiers finally jumped on the enemy.
body, biting off their throats alive."
"Everyone came here with a peaceful attitude and used the Barish duel ceremony to solve the problem. If you want to really fight, it is better to go to war directly." From the words of the other party, I imagined the tragic scene.
On the screen, Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded and replied: "When encountering this desperate fighting method, if you don't have the same level of awareness or coping methods, it is inevitable to surrender after defeat."
"It's not clear yet whether this is their strategy or whether they really have a problem with their heads, but the latter is more likely." Throwing the parchment aside, Duan Qing's eyes also collided with the snow spirit fantasy ice.
Together: "Because in Shrey's words, those Nashi people have turned into strange fanatics. It's not an exaggeration to call them lunatics."
"The Barish Conference is starting to get weird."
Summarizing the final conclusion, the two people let out a low sigh at the same time. A moment of silence later appeared in the depressed atmosphere of the gray-robed magician and the white-haired woman. After a while, Duan Qing spoke again.
Breaking: "There is another thing: the fact that we went to visit the Zhuang Si Clan seems to have spread within those large tribes."
"Are we starting to become famous? This is not a good sign." The key element was detected in Duan Qing's words.
If the enemy notices our presence and starts attacking us——"
"No need to doubt it. In fact, they have already started to take action." Duan Qing pointed at the tops of the two people's heads: "Do you remember those two brothers who bullied you at the gate?"
"Of course I remember. Why, did you find out their origins?"
"The interrogation of the Zhuang Si Clan has not made any progress. They seem to have known each other for a long time. We can't expect Ya Si and the others to ask anything." Duan Qing waved his hand and moved towards the parchment he had just thrown aside.
Pointing in the direction: "It was Lu Fen and the others who were arranged in the camp who found out."
"This guy seems to be doing pretty well in his old profession. What's the result?"
"I heard that brother, he went to several places before going to the gate of Mitile."
Spreading out the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing pointed to the distribution of the central grassland marked on the adventurer's map unfolded above and introduced: "The tents for leisure, around the martial arts field, and the wine shop for buying, selling, eating and drinking... these
Several places are places that people who normally attend the conference might go, so I won’t mention them now.”
"There is only one place that is more suspicious, and that's here."
As Xue Ling Huan Bing looked closer and breathed, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture in one of the corners of the map: "This is the eastern part of the Central Grassland, near the passage in the direction of the Shenshan Mountain."
"It is also the location of the temporary settlement of the Yatta tribe."
