There are priests in barbarian tribes. The leader guides the tribesmen from a strategic level, and the priests lead the spiritual level. To a certain extent, their status in the tribe is still higher than that of the leader. And because of Darhan,
Yeze has a subconscious hostility towards the title of priest, and always feels that it is not a good thing.
On the way to see the high priest, Yeze whispered to Guderian: "Who is this high priest of yours? Is he that kind of old bad guy with a weird temper? Or is he a godly stick? He is collecting intelligence from the Huangyan tribe.
When I saw him, the leader seemed very scared. Could it be some kind of monster..."
The veins on Guderian's forehead were popping wildly, and he replied in a very frustrated tone: "The high priest is my father."
"Oh..." Ye Ze responded, and then he was stunned again, his mouth hanging open: "Huh?"
……………………
In a bamboo building hanging on the cliff, Yeze met Max, the high priest of the Stone Tribe and Guderian's father.
Ye Ze waited outside first, waiting for Guderian to go in first and report. After more than an hour, he was called in.
Max is in his fifties, has no beard, and does not look old on his face, but his hair is already gray, and he looks amiable. However, Ye Ze does not dare to look down on him in the slightest. Not because of his status as a high priest, but because of his status as a high priest.
Max is a dark gold level powerhouse.
After Ye Ze sat down, Max looked up and down and said, "Before this, I also heard some stories about your deeds. In the Northern Frost Empire, you and the Hand of Darkness are very famous."
Yeze replied calmly: "I didn't expect that at the end of the continent, the high priest would still be so concerned about the situation in his 'hometown'."
"Cunning boy." Max laughed loudly and said with emotion: "Guderian should have told you. Back then, I was captured by the Southern Flame Emperor's army in the Strait of Dead Souls during the Northern Frost Emperor's invasion. I was escorted to Amber.
On the way to the city, he was attacked by a group of barbarians and was taken prisoner here. Counting the days, it has been almost thirty years."
"Although I don't quite understand how you became the priest here." Yeze asked, "But the high priest summoned you probably wasn't just for nostalgia."
"The old priest was my savior. After I was captured, if it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. For so many years, I have long regarded this place as my home. I need the survival and future of the barbarians.
Something to consider." Max looked at Ye Ze with burning eyes and said:
"My dream is to let the barbarians and the Nanyan Empire live in peace. But I also know that even if I die, I may not see that day. However, when I am alive, I don't want to see the barbarians being raped by some people.
Careers take advantage and bleed."
Yeze smiled: "So, we are on the same front."
"So be it." Max said: "In the minds of the barbarians, the tomb-keepers are mysterious and great, and they even regard them as the patron saints of the barbarians. But I don't see it that way.
When the old priest was still alive, he noticed some unusual behaviors of the tomb-guarding clan. Their shadow seemed to be behind the battle between the barbarians and the Nanyan Empire. Before, there were even messengers to persuade the barbarians to attack the Nanyan Empire in a large scale.
It was undoubtedly a suicidal move, but most of the tribes were incited. Although you assisted Yan Queluo in stabilizing the political situation in Nan Yan, the crisis has not been resolved. Before you came, the leaders of the tribes were still in contact with each other.
, I want to take action against the Nanyan Empire. Your appearance here at this time is somewhat beyond my expectation, but it is an excellent opportunity.
The Tomb Guard clan is in the lava land, but it is a forbidden area and all barbarians are prohibited from entering. You are a special envoy of the two empires and an outsider, so you will not be restricted by the rules."
Yeze pondered for a moment and said: "Although I have been granted the status of a special envoy, my main task is to understand the true intentions of the tomb-keepers as much as possible, and then to find my woman. If you have any plans, it is better to work with Yan
It would be better to discuss it with Queluo, and I can make a recommendation on your behalf."
"It's not as complicated as you think, and I'm afraid many things are not up to you." Max said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The envoys of the tomb guard clan have been lobbying among various tribes, but not long ago, they suddenly left without saying goodbye without any warning. Do the math.
The time seems to have happened right after your woman was captured. Don’t you think there is some connection between the two?”
Yeze's heart moved, and he looked at Max doubtfully: "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything." Max shook his head and said, "But I think there must be some secret hidden in your woman that they care about. That secret may mean more to them than inciting war..."
Yeze's brows furrowed more and more, and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"It's not complicated." Max smiled and said, "According to my many years of research, the Tomb Guards clan is not monolithic. It seems that there are big differences due to something.
I hope you can use this incident to find out the reason for their differences. That reason is very important to both the barbarian and your woman. After you arrive, go find a woman named Miaohong.
Will help you."
"I will." Ye Ze pondered for a moment and then said, "But since the lava land is a forbidden area, it shouldn't be easy to enter."
"If you want to go to the lava land, you have to take the Burning Bridge." Max said: "And there is the territory of the Shenmu Tribe, which is personally controlled by the high priest of the Shenmu Tribe. If you want to get his approval, you must prove that you are a barbarian.
friend."
Yeze couldn't help but think of Shatu, and said helplessly: "Then do I need to compete with him in terms of strength, or something else?"
"You can't compare to anything." Guderian rolled his eyes and said, "The high priest of the Shenmu tribe is a legendary powerhouse. He can crush you to death with just one finger."
Ye Ze grinned and looked at Max.
"The High Priest of Ulu is not a Shatu. He will not use that method. There are many ways to gain his approval." Max smiled and said: "In a few days, we will hunt mammoths with the Shenmu tribe.
Group. As long as you and your people perform outstandingly in hunting, you should be able to gain recognition from the Shenmu tribe. As long as you can meet the high priest of Ulu, I think you will have a way to convince him.
There have been precedents of hiring demon hunting groups before, so you don’t have to worry about any trouble your identities may cause."
"It's just a bunch of stupid elephants, we can do it in minutes." Ye Ze looked relaxed.
"It's not that simple." Guderian added: "Mammoths have amazing reproductive capabilities and often destroy crops and fields. Tribal villages are also often attacked by elephants. Every year, we carry out large-scale hunting to reduce the number of mammoths.
.
But mammoths are very sensitive to beast demons. If beast demons are summoned, the mammoths will go crazy, carry out endless suicidal attacks, and infect all mammoths that hear their cries. Once all the mammoths in the wild mountains go crazy,
That would be catastrophic."
Ye Ze was silent for a moment and said: "In other words, hunting mammoths cannot summon beast monsters?"
"Not absolutely. As long as the exposed body of the armored beast demon is small enough, it will not cause uneasiness to the mammoth." Guderian said: "However, unless it is as big as your sword fangs. Otherwise, even if it is a scorpion
Just armoring one arm like the tail, crab hands, and air bones would irritate the mammoth."
"So, I'm pretty lucky." Ye Ze smiled and asked, "Can I use the magic sealing device?"
"The demon-sealing device is no problem." Guderian said: "The beast monsters in the demon-sealing device are dead and will not be an irritant to the mammoths. We will also use them, but it is a pity that there are too few demon-sealing devices."
"That's enough." Yeze chuckled: "Just wait and see the hand of darkness show off its skills."
Just after Yeze and Guderian were about to leave, Max stopped Yeze alone again, hesitated, and asked: "Grand Duke Hugit, how are you doing now?"
Moore Huget, the Grand Duke of the Northern Frost Empire and the Emperor's Grand Marshal. Although he didn't have much contact with Yeze, Yeze still had a very fond impression of the old man who had helped him and embarrassed the Lombards and his son.
"The old guy is pretty good. He can eat and sleep, but his son is gone, so he is a little lonely." Yeze asked casually: "What, when you were in the army, did the old guy take good care of you?"
Max was shaken, silent for a moment, and said: "My full name, Moore Max."
Ye Ze was stunned: "You are..."
"I am his youngest son." Max sighed: "From what you said, besides the eldest brother, the second brother also died in the war."
Ye Ze was stunned for a while, and said angrily: "You can't bear to let the old man stay home alone for so many years. How can you be your son?"
Ye Ze, who has no parents, cares more about the strong family ties than most people. Ye Feng, who is both a teacher and father, will go into danger alone. Faced with Max, a man who has a biological father and ignores him, he is naturally very angry.
Max sighed and said: "The old priest has been kind to me again, I can't leave him here."
"Bullshit!" Yeze said angrily: "I'd better just make your real father over there. Even if you want to repay the favor and stay here, you can still write a letter to reassure the old man."
Max was silent.
Ye Ze stopped talking, snorted and walked out.
Guderian was waiting outside, looked at Yeze, and sighed: "My grandfather sent all three brothers to the battlefield back then, and they were all in the most dangerous places. My father was somewhat upset about this."
"Why are you explaining this to me?" Ye Ze shrugged and said, "I'm just expressing my opinion."
At this time, Max in the room also reacted and roared: "You bastard, our family's affairs are none of your business. When will it be your turn to yell at me!!"
As Max roared, a huge momentum also emanated from the room.
Ye Ze shrank his neck, pulled Guderian and fled in panic. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
