"Our clan leader became the clan leader about two years ago."
Finding that Duan Qing was still unwilling to follow him to the depths of the Hulun tribe's camp, Hu Mobei simply stopped where he was and continued to explain, while the three or two Hulun tribe warriors standing behind him were not idle.
Under Hu Mobei's concealed gesture, three luxurious leather chairs wrapped in thick plush were instantly moved over: "At that time, he was just like you, a wanderer who didn't know where he came from. But after a while, he
He conquered us all with his intelligence and amazing fighting power."
"Is he dressed and dressed the same as us?" Duan Qing, who did not sit down on the chair brought by the tribal warriors and raised his hand to interrupt the other party, simply sat on the open space on the edge of the cliff: "
Also the conversation and temperament?”
"At that time, I had very little communication with the clan leader." After hesitating for a moment, Hu Mobei finally followed Duan Qing's sitting posture and sat down together: "Not only me, but also many elders in the clan
The warriors and I all showed a sense of strangeness towards this person who suddenly appeared, but because he belonged to the same Hulun tribe and his behavior as a member of the tribe, we let down a lot of our wariness."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say he was a wanderer from the outside world?" Duan Qing hurriedly reached out and interrupted the other person: "How can an outsider become a member of the same tribe? Did he join your tribe later?"
"No, he does have the blood of our tribe."
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere of the conversation had relaxed at this moment, but Hu Mobei's expression of shaking his head also seemed much more relaxed and casual: "Although we don't know the reason, we did feel from him a sense of identity and stability as a member of the same race.
, coupled with the fact that we confirmed his ancestor’s identity from the genealogy records in the ancestral temple, other details about his past have been ignored by most people.”
"This is also true for the previous generation of clan leaders." He looked a little gloomy when he said this: "When the previous clan leader finally passed away, he specifically mentioned this matter in front of everyone, but he still recognized his strength and
The bloodline passed the position of clan leader to him in an exceptional manner. And the facts have proved that the choice of the previous clan leaders was very correct."
"That man brought dawn to you Hulun people." Duan Qing came to the conclusion for the other party. Duan Qing's fingers on his arm, which looked a little strange, were tapping up and down as he searched for memories: "Or, in other words,
The Hulun tribe has undergone significant changes since he succeeded as the patriarch, and has gradually built up its current great achievements. At the same time, it has also gained the strength and ambition to truly compete with and compete with other powerful tribes - from the results of our surveys and exchanges with many tribes
See, that's how they describe you."
"After all, they are the major tribes that once ruled the grassland and have joined the major tribes in the central grassland area. There is no doubt about their ability to collect intelligence." Confirming Duan Qing's conclusion, Humobei nodded and continued in a low voice.
Explained: "Of course, as one of the former central grassland tribes, and then they were driven out of there by their joint efforts, we have never looked down upon them, but -"
"Once you have something more powerful and have seen a more powerful existence, the so-called 'revenge' will seem insignificant and meaningless." Humobei looked back at the huge tent group behind him and the shadowy crowd inside:
"Everything is for the long-term stability of our tribe. This is the common goal and long-cherished wish of all tribes on the grassland. We have always been like this before coming to this land."
"As a result, the situation has changed." Duan Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips: "The biggest question is: your capable patriarch suddenly disappeared?"
"We don't know when this situation started to occur, because our clan leader rarely shows up since he completed the transfer of knowledge, and he is not willing to interfere too much in the decisions of the elders."
Paying attention to the movements around him, Hu Mobei lowered his voice unnaturally: "In the past two years, this method has gradually become a habit. Since we rarely receive instructions from the patriarch, we gradually relax and interact with him.
meeting."
"After we started the 'expedition', the patriarch also gave us some sporadic orders." Humobei continued with a serious expression: "In line with the respect of the whole tribe for the patriarch, we obeyed those orders without exception.
, slowed down the speed of the expedition, deliberately kept a distance from you... ahem, and the God Envoy, and finally arrived here safe and sound."
"I'm sorry, we are also afraid of misunderstandings caused by getting too close." Nodding in agreement with the other party's words, Duan Qing also pointed at the sacred mountain behind him: "Of course, the current appearance of the sacred mountain is probably not the same.
Let it meet your expectations.”
"The patriarch once predicted the occurrence of this situation to us, in a very obscure way." Humobei sighed and replied: "So after arriving here following the order, we have been waiting for further revelations from the patriarch, but
——”
"He's not there."
Stretching his head and looking behind Hu Mobei, Duan Qing smiled and snapped his fingers: "Have you ever looked for other places?"
"Of course, no one knows our tribal domain better than us elders." Humobei replied matter-of-factly: "We have searched all the places we should look for, and we can confirm that the patriarch is not in the clan.
"
"And it disappeared out of thin air? Not even a trace was left?" Duan Qing continued to ask in a low voice: "Has this phenomenon happened before?"
"This has happened before, but because the patriarch always showed up in time, we no longer doubted or pursued it." Humobei replied calmly: "This is not because we are disrespectful to the patriarch, we just
We are worried about the safety of the clan leader, as we have never encountered this situation before."
"...Okay, I roughly understand it."
Holding his chin and thinking for a moment, Duan Qing, who frowned, then stretched out his arms: "For the sake of your sincerity, I can conclude an agreement with you on behalf of the Lord God Envoy and other members living on the sacred mountain.
Peaceful contracts and agreements, and provide necessary support and assistance within my ability, but before that——"
"There are two more questions I need to confirm." The gray-robed magician paused for a moment, then stared at Hu Mobi in front of him and asked again: "The first question: whether your 'journey' to come here, is it
Have you reached cooperation with other tribes or forces?"
"No." Hu Mobei answered with a voice that seemed to be without hesitation: "This is also something we have suspected. After all, the elders and I have received many tips and even contacts from outside, but the patriarch has never reported anything to us.
We have made it clear, so at least from the perspective of the patriarch, we can deny such a thing as 'cooperation'."
"Then the second question." Duan Qing's expression did not change because of the other party's answer: "Actually, this is the question I want to ask the most, and it is also the first question I should ask: What is the name of your clan leader?
"
"Name taboo? Ah, it seems that I have never mentioned this before." Humobei's expression stagnated for a moment: "Speaking of which, the patriarch has never used the name of our clan, but insisted that we use the name he is used to.
Call him by his name."
"He asked us to call him 'Celestial City'."
With the whistling wind swirling above his head in the background, the elder of the Hulun tribe slightly spread his hands: "It is said to mean the city in the sky, which represents his yearning and desire for the top of the sacred mountain...
What's wrong?"
"..."
Without responding to the other party's words, the gray-robed magician just sat there quietly, seeming to be chewing on the meaning behind the name: "No, it's nothing."
"Does the messenger know him?"
"Well, I'm not sure about that either."
After hesitatingly answering this question, Duan Qing raised his head and faced Hu Mobei's face full of doubts: "Of course, if you are lucky enough to meet him in the future, maybe you can confirm this."
"If the messenger can help us find the whereabouts of the clan leader, we will also be grateful." Humobei, who nodded his head and temporarily relieved his brows, also replied in a low voice: "What our clan is encountering right now
Difficulty, please take the initiative to consider the envoy, if there is anything we need to do, we will try our best to do it."
"As long as you express enough goodwill, those other tribes will definitely understand you." Duan Qing scratched his head and replied: "This will also save me a lot of trouble..."
"What did you say?"
"No, it's okay."
Somewhat hurriedly blocking the young elder's question, Duan Qing coughed and continued in a dry voice: "Anyway, I will give you some advice. Regarding the current situation of your tribe and your clan leader's issues, my companions and I can - eh
?”
"Where's Furla?"
He turned around, looking for the golden dragon lady and his eyes were fixed in the air. Hu Mobei, who had just noticed something was wrong, also hurriedly turned around, but what he saw was that he didn't know when he had appeared behind him.
The tall figure with most of his field of vision blocked: "What's wrong?"
"Oh my, I told you not to run around." Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly smoothed things over on Fula's behalf: "We are guests this time, so we need to be reserved and polite like guests."
"..."
Pursing her lips and not answering Duan Qing's words, Fula, who fell silent, just quietly crossed Hu Mobei's shoulder, and then stood beside Duan Qing again amid the doubtful glances of the two people one after another: "
clear."
"If you two are still willing to be guests in our tribe, we will still welcome you." Humobei also clapped his hands and smiled and said: "The wine and feast are behind me. You two adults, please go this way."
"No, no, no." Duan Qing waved his hands and shook his head helplessly: "As you can see, we have been very busy during this period, especially after the redevelopment of the Lord God Envoy's domain, we have been thinking of ways to restore the function of the sacred mountain.
Provide a stable habitat for all grassland residents who come here."
"We hope that this place can really become the 'land of peach blossoms' on this continent, as the legend says."
After chatting casually for a few more words, Duan Qing hurriedly said goodbye to this polite and respectful representative of the Hulun tribe, then bathed in the eyes of him and countless Hulun tribesmen around him, and left this place with Fula's golden teleportation brilliance. Place. Amidst the strong wind of the grassland and the shadow of the sacred mountain, two figures, one tall and one low, appeared in the deserted mountains and fields very familiarly. Duan Qing, who breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and He casually sat on the rusty metal stand next to him: "I almost collapsed. I can even feel the hostility of some people around me."
"...You humans have a stronger sense of territoriality than our dragons." Fulla shook her long blond hair away from her back indifferently: "If I had known, I wouldn't have deliberately let you find out."
"I'm worried about your safety. After all, the possibility of hidden dragons and crouching tigers within the Hulun tribe is still very high." Duan Qing comforted the other party half-jokingly, and then his tone turned serious: "So what attracted your attention? You What have you found?"
"Yes, there is a wave that I am very familiar with appearing in that area." The slender dragon boy condensed a hint of sharpness, and Fula's originally beautiful and magnetic female voice became extremely low at this time: "The other party must be It was a disguise, otherwise I would not have discovered any clues in the past period, but this time——"
"...Oh my God, did they really hide the dragon?" Constantly comparing with Fulla's expression and attitude in his memory, Duan Qing gradually showed an expression of great surprise: "Have you found it?"
"...No." Fulla answered this question after a period of silence: "Based on my understanding of that fellow racer, even if he really showed his flaws, he would not be caught by me so easily, at least. Now, it is not that easy for me to capture the other party alive."
"This will be a deadly battle, mortal." She raised her head hesitantly and turned her gaze to Duan Qing's face: "In that range, it is difficult for me to control the power."
"It's a good sign that you are willing to think about us so-called mortals." Duan Qing gently patted the other party's shoulder and replied in a soft voice: "Don't worry, we will all be on your side, your enemy." They are our enemies, although I still don’t know what kind of grudges there are between you.”
"——After everything is over, I will take you to fly over the storm vortex." After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Fulla then opened her eyes and nodded: "The other side of the storm is the hometown of the Dragon Clan, and I will take you with me. Let’s take a tour and tell my story.”
"Okay - no, don't set up such an obvious death flag, okay?" Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted his speech, and grabbed the dragon woman's somewhat surprised and surprised arm: "Let's go, come with me first. Meet Your Excellency Shana."
"After solving one big problem, we still have another big problem to solve."
