"Please allow me to pay tribute to you on behalf of my people."
Valdez stood up, raised the kumiss glass in his hand, and toasted Wang Qiang with great respect.
"My friend, you are too kind."
Wang Qiang raised the kumiss in his hand, bumped it with the opponent, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you, distinguished sir."
Valdez put the cup on the table and bowed again.
"I am the chief of this grassland. I hope you can visit me often in the future. I will entertain you well."
Valdez put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the three of them with very sincere eyes.
Life on the grasslands is very difficult, and all kinds of daily necessities are in short supply. The goods carried by Wang Qiang and others are very precious, and not everyone can buy these things, so Valdez is very enthusiastic.
"Brother Valdez is so polite. It is our honor to meet such a hero like Brother Valdez on the grassland. We will definitely come here often in the future."
Wang Qiang smiled and was very satisfied with Valdez's attitude. Compared with the Aylan Kingdom, the folk customs on the grassland were more generous, which made him very comfortable.
"Brother Valdez, my name is Wang Qiang, and these two are my bodyguards."
Wang Qiang pointed at Lin Yun and Kahn.
After a few people got to know each other briefly, they started chatting.
"Brother Valdez, how many people are there in your tribe?"
Wang Qiang held a roasted lamb leg in his hand and asked casually. Their mission had not been forgotten, so Wang Qiang needed to find out the number of people here so that he could prepare for the next move.
"This is it!"
Valdez touched his beard, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Although the reputation of Eastern merchants is very good, they are still very taboo when it comes to tribal secrets.
"We have more than 800 young men, more than 1,000 aunts, elderly people, and more than 400 children here. In addition, there are more than 300 slaves."
Valdez deliberately exaggerated the number of young men, so that if the other party had any bad intentions, he would also be wary.
"Your tribe is very powerful. It seems that we can cooperate for a long time."
Wang Qiang nodded and complimented.
Valdez's words are definitely exaggerated, but they also have a certain degree of credibility. After all, Valdez is not stupid.
It is impossible to tell others all the details of your tribe.
"Hahaha, do you really come here often?"
Valdez was very happy to hear Wang Qiang's promise.
"Of course, we are friends after all. If Brother Valdez has any difficulties, just come to me and I will do my best to help you."
Wang Qiang patted his chest and promised.
"Haha, little brother is really generous. I have made this my friend, Valdez."
While talking, Valdez toasted Wang Qiang with another glass of wine.
"By the way, little brother Wang Qiang, can you tell me what the world outside the grassland is like? I have never been out of the grassland, and I am really full of curiosity about the outside world."
Valdez has lived in the grassland since he was a child and has never left the grassland, so he does not know much about the world outside the grassland.
He had vaguely heard some businessmen talk about how powerful the Aylan Kingdom was, but he didn't know the specific situation.
Now the goods brought by these merchants who claimed to be from the East were much more valuable than the goods of the merchants of the Kingdom of Aylan, so Valdis had a strong interest in these merchants.
"Of course, Brother Valdez, I can tell you whatever you want to know."
Wang Qiang smiled and agreed.
"What I want to know most is how powerful the Aylan Kingdom, the most powerful kingdom on our continent, is. I heard that their tribes are all surrounded by huge rocks. Is it true?"
There was a strange light shining in Valdez's eyes, obviously he was yearning for the Kingdom of Alan.
"Of course it's true. The Kingdom of Aylan is the most powerful kingdom on your continent. They call their tribes city-states, and their people are all protected in castles.
Once they encounter a war, they will gather all the residents to form a defense. No matter what kind of enemy wants to invade their city, it will be very difficult."
Wang Qiang talked eloquently, "The walls of their royal capital are thirty feet high. These walls are all made of solid giant rocks, and there are a large number of trebuchets on their walls, which can blast all enemies who attack the royal capital."
Into slag.
The soldiers guarding the royal capital are all well-trained elite soldiers. They are all wearing heavy armor, are tall, and have very strong combat effectiveness."
After listening to Wang Qiang's story, Valdez couldn't help but swallowed, obviously very shocked by what Wang Qiang said.
"Oh? What if they attack our grassland?"
Valdez suddenly felt a trace of worry in his heart. He was afraid that the Aylan Kingdom's army would attack the grassland.
Even King Sneff's army in Overlord City is not that terrifying. If there is a conflict between the two sides, his tribe will not be able to stop the attack of the Kingdom of Aylan, so he is very worried.
"Don't worry, Brother Valdez, you don't have to worry. This place is far away from the Aylan Kingdom. Even if the Aylan Kingdom sends a large army to attack, it will take time, so you don't need to be afraid at all."
Wang Qiang comforted him.
"But..."
Wang Qiang suddenly lowered his voice and his face turned ugly.
Through the preliminary conversation, Wang Qiang has successfully instilled fear in Valdez. The next step is to talk about the key topic.
"But what?" Valdez became a little nervous.
"Our wizard made a fortune for the grassland. He said that the grassland will be destroyed."
Wang Qiang said with a solemn expression.
"Ah, no way. It's been peaceful here all the time. We haven't encountered any danger. How could there be any disaster?"
Valdez's eyes widened in surprise.
"Is it possible that the Aylan Kingdom will send troops to attack the grassland?"
Valdez guessed.
"It's not that the Aylan Kingdom is attacking the grassland, but that the grassland will suffer a greater disaster."
Wang Qiang took a deep look at Valdez, shook his head, and sighed.
His eyes were so sincere that no one could doubt his words.
"Ah! Then...then what kind of disaster will our grassland face, and what should we do?"
Valdez was frightened and his face suddenly turned pale. If it was true as Wang Qiang said, his tribe would probably be destroyed.
Although the number of his tribe is okay, it is not enough to be seen on the entire grassland.
"We wizards told us that the great blood-colored demon will come out of the myth and come to the Northern Kingdom.
The demon army led by it will destroy the grassland, and the entire grassland will become a paradise for demons. The dead may turn into demons and rise up. The residents of the grassland will all die in endless slaughter. By then, the entire grassland will become a desert.
Hell on earth is filled with blood and corpses everywhere.”
Wang Qiang said with a somewhat heavy tone.
"What? The devil will come to the grassland?"
Valdez stood up in surprise, his face turning pale.
In the tribes on the grassland, people die every year due to plague or disease, but never before have demons appeared like today.
"That's right."
Wang Qiang nodded with a solemn expression.
In fact, the Human Mutual Aid Army sneered at this prophecy, but as soldiers who obeyed orders, they had no choice.
They can only obey orders and execute orders.
"No! No, all this must be a lie. How could our grassland be in such danger? I don't believe it."
Valdez took a few steps back, shaking his head, looking very excited.
Everyone on the grasslands has heard of the legend of demons. They are a group of brutal, murderous, ugly and ferocious monsters.
Wherever the demon passes, no grass will grow, and all humans and animals will perish.
Such terrifying existences only exist in myths and legends. Now Wang Qiang says that these demons will come to the grassland. How is that possible?
Valdez couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it was all true.
"Sigh... We don't want this to happen, but our wizard's prediction is very accurate, which makes us have to believe it."
Wang Qiang sighed and shrugged helplessly.
"Moreover, the power of the devil is not something that us mortals can withstand. If you don't escape from the grassland earlier, then what awaits you people in the grassland is catastrophe, and all of you will die in the hands of the devil."
Wang Qiang reminded again.
"Whether this prophecy is true or not, I suggest you leave the grassland as soon as possible. After all, nothing is more important than living."
"Leave? Where to go?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Valdez's eyes. This man actually asked them to leave the grassland where they were born and raised. How is this possible?
The grassland is their root. Without the grassland, where else can they go?
"Of course you have to leave the prairie and go to other places to survive, such as going to the Kingdom of Aylan, or going to other continents. In short, if you want to survive, it's best to leave here."
Wang Qiang warned in a serious tone.
"And I heard that the icy snow-capped mountains in the south are blessed by gods. If you go there, you might be able to survive."
"The frozen snow mountain is a place of ice and snow. Who would go there? Don't you know how cold it is there?"
Valdez asked with some suspicion.
But in terms of distance, the Frozen Snow Mountain is the closest to Valdez's tribe, but the environment there is so harsh that Valdez is afraid to go there.
"If there really is a god, then he will definitely not watch you freeze to death."
Wang Qiang continued to confuse, "If you are willing to believe me, then do as I say."
"Abba!"
Just when Valdez wanted to ask something else, a thin girl wearing gray linen clothes, with two red clouds on her face, and a braid on her head rushed towards Valdez, with a look on her face.
With a happy smile, that chubby face was full of happiness.
"Nasha, why are you here?"
Valdez knelt down, picked up his daughter, and rubbed her hair lovingly, with tenderness in his eyes.
"Nasha misses her father, that's why she came to see her. Does dad miss Nasha?"
Nasha pouted and looked at Valdez with a coquettish look, holding an apple in her hand and looking happy.
"Of course Abba misses you, my good daughter."
Valdez touched Nasha's little head affectionately, "Come on, let me give you a kiss. It's been a long time since my father loved Nasha."
Valdez smiled and leaned forward and kissed Nasha hard on her pink and tender face.
"Kekeke! Abba, Nasha also wants to be kissed by Abba."
Nasha's little face was tickled by Valdez's stubble, she laughed and threw her arms around Valdez's neck, and gave Valdez a kiss on the face.
"Okay, my good daughter, please say hello to these three uncles."
Valdez has not forgotten business.
"Hello, uncles, my name is Nasha, welcome to our tribe as a guest."
Nasha struggled and jumped out of Valdez's arms, walked towards the three of them, and greeted them sweetly, her eyes blinking, looking very cute.
"Haha, little sister Nasha is so beautiful! She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
Wang Qiang laughed and praised, although he is already 30 years old, he is still very young for his current life span of 500 years, and he does not want to be an uncle!
"Kids Nasha, come here, brother, there are delicious candies!"
Lin Yun's round face was filled with a sunny smile, and he said to Nasha with a smile.
While talking, Lin Yun quickly took out a large handful of candies from his backpack and handed them to Nasha.
"Thank you big brother, big brother is so kind!"
Nasha immediately smiled broadly as she took the candy handed over by Lin Yun.
"Nasha, you little greedy cat."
Valdez scratched the tip of Nasha's nose lovingly.
Nasha pouted and became unhappy, "Nasha is already so old, how can Dad still touch Nasha's nose all the time? Dad is really annoying!"
Nasha slapped Valdez's hand angrily.
"Okay, Nasha, you silly girl, go out and play with your friends. Dad has something to discuss with these three uncles."
Thinking of business, Valdez's expression became serious.
"Oh! Okay, dad, I'm going to play first."
Nasha was very smart and could tell that her father seemed to have something important to discuss with these three brothers. She didn't want to disturb him, so she agreed obediently and skipped away.
Watching Nasha's leaving figure, Valdez suddenly felt sad.
"After giving birth to Nasha, Nasha's mother died of massive hemorrhage, leaving us, father and daughter, to depend on each other."
Valdez sighed.
"Nasha is a very well-behaved and sensible little girl. She always has a smile on her face, as if the suffering in this world has nothing to do with her. Unfortunately, she cannot be injured. Once she is injured, even if it is a very small wound, she will
It's also difficult to heal, so I don't dare let her get hurt at all."
"But... your wizard's prediction suddenly made me feel very scared. If... if... it's really like what you said, then I'm really worried that my daughter, Nasha, will be injured and die.
