"Sister, you actually asked them for thirty kilograms of food." After leaving the thankful patriarch of Kailong, the five people followed Batto and led the way. On the way, Vivian said to Catherine in surprise: "I was really scared."

"Well, we were also shocked." Lina and Freya nodded together, looking at Catherine in surprise.

"I want to give them all the dog-skinned meat to them," Catherine said seriously, "But that is not right. Although these orcs have difficulty living, they still have their own pride and persistence. Even if I really want to give it to them, they will not accept it. Otherwise, there is no need to nomadic. Just find a fixed tribe to join, and there will always be someone to take them in. Sometimes it is like this. Giving things directly is a gift, which may hurt the other party's self-esteem. In fact, in the long run, it will not be beneficial to the other party, but the exchange of items is different. Even if you don't want to wait for the value, it is a voluntary transaction. You have to pay for each other and the other party's dignity will not be hurt, so I asked them to exchange food."

"No, sister, you misunderstood what I mean." Vivian turned his face and said with a weird smile: "I'm just surprised that you are willing to make an unfair deal. That's a loss. I'm afraid you will regret it at night."

"Be careful, I'll beat you up." Catherine raised her fist threateningly and explained: "I can't bear to leave either, but there is no way. The meat of the broken-tailed dog is dry and hard, very bad, and it's too many, and it has not been smoked. There is no time to smoke it. The weather is so hot during the day, and it will probably deteriorate after being left for a day. We can't take away at all. As for their skin, more than one hundred pieces of skin need to take up a lot of space. We may have to throw away some items in our bags before they can be packed. These skins can only be sold for more than a dozen silver coins. Which items are not higher than them? So we still can't take them away. In this case, it's better to use the useless waste that we can only throw away in our eyes to exchange for some really useful things. In general, we still make a profit. Hehe. I don't want to trade losses, otherwise I might really regret it."

"It's here." The girls who were chatting heard Barto's prompt and looked up. Barto had led everyone to their tents and were explaining to their remaining subordinates: "You go back to the tent first, guard our goods, and pay attention to the thieves. I'll take them away for a while and let me talk about everything when I come back."

After Bren returned to the tent, Bartoon mysteriously waved to everyone, bypassed his tent, and came not far behind the tent. Two empty carriages were parked there, one used as a tool to defend the camp, with scratches from broken-tail dogs everywhere. The other was nothing, and it still maintained its original appearance. The four horses pulling the carriage were leisurely gnawing on the trough.

Not long after approaching the two carriages, Panis's ears suddenly moved, frowned and looked at Barto, but did not speak. Instead, they focused on themselves as if they were listening to something. The girls all knew that Panis's senses were sharp and cooperated and did not speak. After a minute, Panis said in confusion: "Why did I never know that there is a business of human trafficking in your dwarf business?"

"Did you find it?" Barto was stunned for a moment, and this time he realized what Panis meant quite quickly and said in surprise: "How did you find it?"

"Heartbeat sound." Panis said in confusion: "But the heartbeat sound is very slow, and it is almost difficult for people to believe that it is the heartbeat sound. It only takes one minute to do so, and it doesn't look like... Oh, I understand, that's your Lord Serra, who used the petrification secret method of saving your dwarves' lives. It is said that this kind of racial talent has a very heavy burden on the body. It takes several years to cultivate it once to recover. And the longer the time, the greater the burden. I haven't heard anyone have used it for a long time."

"The secret method of petrochemical?" Lina looked up in surprise and cried down: "Are you talking about the skill that makes herself infinitely close to the stone statue? This kind of talent really exists. I have only seen it in novels and I have always thought it was just a story."

"Yeah, it does exist." Panis nodded and said, "After all, the dwarf is the son of the earth, at least half of them are the sons of the earth, and it is also the only creation behavior that Deniya participates in. It is not surprising that the dwarf clan is given this kind of talent. What I wonder is why she used this skill on herself? Is the situation so bad?"

"Mr. Sera was injured and was also highly poisoned." Barto said sadly: "If it was not injured, those poisons would not have much impact on adults. If it was not poisoned, those injuries could be waiting for themselves to heal. However, it would be very troublesome to mix the two, which would be enough to threaten the safety of adults' lives. So adults had no choice but to use petrochemical talent to protect themselves, and then I was responsible for taking the adults back to the clan to treat them."

"Why don't you find a priest nearby to treat?" Lina asked, "I remember when I communicated with the head of the Kailong, you also returned from the human country. There will always be a priest there."

"We can't trust them," Barto said. "The situation was critical at the time, and there was no more omission."

"What the hell happened?" Catherine asked with a frown, "It will make you have such great hostility towards the humans around you."

"I'll explain it to you from the beginning." Barto sighed and recalled in a low voice: "I am a squadron leader of the Hill Dwarf Council Guard, who is responsible for protecting the safety of the Councillor. Some time ago, because the clan needed to establish a trade agreement on rare minerals with a duke in the Federation of Neville, I'm sorry that the name of this duke needs to be kept confidential. Lord Serra personally led the team to negotiate with the duke. Because the councillor traveled in person, the protection measures were very strict. The team was led by the captain of our council guard, a legendary weapon master. The members of the guard selected twenty gold ranks, one hundred silver ranks, and a legendary human mage accompanied. In addition, Lord Serra himself was a legendary rank, and there were three legendary ranks, twenty gold ranks and one hundred silver ranks in the entire team."

"What are the problems in your dwarves recently?" Catherine asked directly: "A team like this can affect the outcome of a large-scale war. From any aspect, it is powerful and exaggerated. If there is no problem, no one can want to use such a strong lineup as a guard."

"There is indeed no problem in the clan." Barto shook his head and said, "But this guard was asked by Lord Serra himself. Maybe she knows something, but I don't know much about it."

"Okay, I get it, you keep talking." Catherine pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What happened later?"

"The negotiations should go smoothly. Although I don't understand, I can guess it from the mood of the adults. It took ten days in total, and we took two cars of precious samples to return to Kulan. On the way back, nothing happened in the first two days, but on the third day, we encountered some big and small trouble. The axle of a car broke and took a lot of time to repair it. We did not reach the city expected in the captain's itinerary, and we could only spend the night in a nearby village of five or six hundred people."

"The people in the village are very enthusiastic, both men, women, young and old. If our large team wants to move into the village, it will cause them a lot of trouble. However, they quickly made enough houses for us, and the village chief held a banquet to entertain us. Originally, Lord Serra was not willing to everyone to participate, but after seeing the enthusiastic villagers in person, he felt that there was no problem, so he agreed."

"Ha." Panis let out an unknown chuckling and shook his head slightly: "Even a member of parliament, there are times when he is confused. Maybe it's the smooth journey that made her relax her vigilance. She clearly knows that there may be danger. But she can't blame her entirely. Who would have thought that those who don't know those guys can do it."

"Yes." Catherine agreed, "We know something happened now. On the other hand, we can think that the problem must be at the banquet, but they hadn't happened yet, so it was hard to predict. Mr. Barto, was the assassin mixed with the villagers and assassinated Member Serra at the banquet?"

"It's not that simple." Paniscitta replied: "The Shadow Hand's style of doing things is not as simple as you think. It's not that the assassin will assassinate among the villagers. I'm afraid that all the villagers in the whole village are disguised by assassins."

"Didn't it..." Catherine said in disbelief and full of anger: "They killed hundreds of people in the village and disguised themselves as villagers? This is a village slaughter."

"It's not necessarily a village. If you want to slaughter the village, there needs to be a village there. If even that village is fake, there is no need to slaughter the village at all." Panis looked normal and said leisurely: "The traces left by slaughtering the village are very heavy, especially the smell of blood. If you don't deal with it, you will definitely find it with the sensitivity of the legendary level. It's very troublesome to deal with it. It's far better to build a resort directly. With the level of fake experts in the hands of Shadow, you can build those wooden houses as if they have been used for decades."

"Is it really like Penis said?" Catherine was still a little confused.

"Indeed," Batto said bitterly: "All the villagers were assassins, and all high-level assassins. They could not tell at all that they were disguised. All the members of the guard, including the captain and Lord Serra, and the Mage, thought they were just a group of ordinary people, until they suddenly took action at the banquet. Ten seconds, only ten seconds, and more than eighty brothers, including the Mage, were killed almost at the same time in ten seconds, and Lord Serra and the captain were seriously injured."

"Hiss." Catherine felt chill all over, and it was hard to imagine that the assassins in the shadow would have such a large-scale action.
