From the previous confrontation between Orin and Sirius, it can be seen that although this person assisted the Solar Eclipse Sect under forced circumstances, he at least had a bottom line in his heart and did not completely obey the instructions of the Solar Eclipse Sect.
Lu Xiao pointed to the Focus on Olin's ear: "As long as no one interferes with it, the signal shielding effect can last for a long time."
"Based on what you know about Sirius, how long will it take for him to become suspicious because he can't contact anyone?"
Orin thought about it for a moment: "Sirius is not an impatient person, but with more than a dozen Eclipse believers losing contact at the same time, he should soon find something unusual."
Lu Xiao nodded: "Then we are just establishing initial contact today. If you want to rescue your wife and children and no longer be controlled by others, I can help you, but I need you to provide me with some information."
Ou Lin and Lu Xiao met by chance. Lu Xiao's ability to kill everyone had really shocked him. However, considering the safety of his family, Ou Lin was still undecided whether to take the risk and cooperate with Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao used her Focus to exchange contact signals with Olin: "I know it's hard for you to make up your mind for a while."
"If you decide to cooperate with me to rescue your family, you can dial this encrypted frequency band. It will prevent our calls from being monitored by Sirius."
Orin sighed and said, "I will think about it carefully."
"Olin."
Lu Xiao looked solemnly at Ou Lin, who had a troubled expression: "Now, I need you to tell me something."
"Why did Sirius target the girl with Focus so much? Also, besides this metal demon, does the Eclipse Cult have any other back-ups to deal with the Nora clan?"
Orin scratched his head and said in confusion: "I don't know what's going on between Sirius and that girl named Aloy. The Eclipse Cult didn't come to the Nora tribe's territory for her in the first place."
"Sirius's original purpose was to dig out the metal demons buried in Nora's territory, and rely on the parts in your hand to control them to break into the Nora tribe's settlement and seize the temple at the top of the Heart of All Mothers."
"My job is to help them dig out the metal demon. Killing Aloy was Sirius's temporary decision. I don't know why he suddenly had this idea."
Lu Xiao pondered and touched his chin: "It was a spur-of-the-moment idea, or was it an order from the 'shadow' behind Sirius?"
"Olin, what exactly is the so-called 'shadow'? Have you ever seen its true form?"
Orin shook his head: "No, but according to the Eclipse Cult who have seen the Shadow, their god is attached to a huge divine envoy, secretly controlling the actions of the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calga."
Orin looked at the time on Focus and interrupted the conversation uneasily: "Sorry, I have to go. Continuing the conversation may arouse Sirius' suspicion."
"Last question."
Lu Xiao has no intention of stopping Ou Lin. He may play a more important role in the future. The best choice is to let Ou Lin continue to ambush the Eclipse Sect.
"Has Sirius himself entered the territory of the Nora tribe? When are they planning to attack Aloy?"
Orin turned away and answered Lu Xiao's question loudly: "Sirius is ambushing near the Heart of All Mothers, and they are preparing to take action during the trial ceremony this morning."
"If you plan to stop Sirius, hurry up. There are only less than 2 hours before the plan is launched."
The Eclipse Cult spent the whole night digging for war machines, and when Orin left, the hazy light of morning could already be seen on the horizon.
The trial ceremony of the Nora tribe will begin around 8 o'clock this morning, and the Eclipse Cult led by Sirius should have made final preparations.
Watching Ou Lin leave, Lu Xiao waved his hand to open the portal and relied on the positioning rune that Yong Zhen carried with him to teleport directly back to the Heart of All Mothers.
"Hiss~"
Just after walking out of the portal, Lu Xiao first felt the biting cold wind blowing by.
Looking from a distance from where Lu Xiao is, you can see the already very small altar on the top of the Heart of All Mothers mountain. This should be another high mountain near the Nora tribe settlement.
After patting the snowflakes on his body, Lu Xiao turned to look at Yongzhen, who was squatting on the ground: "How are you? Did you find any abnormalities in that little girl?"
Yongzhen shook his head: "No, the trial participants all slept in the same longhouse last night. There was no movement at night. The trial has just begun."
Looking along Yongzhen's line of sight, several boys and girls shivering from the cold were rubbing their hands and moving in place. In front of them stood a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
This man with a dirty face should be one of the proctors sent by the Nora tribe to preside over the trial ceremony. From his blatantly discriminatory attitude, it can be seen that this man is very unhappy with Aloy.
"What's going on with these people? Why do they all have such a bad attitude towards Aloy?"
Yongzhen lurked near the longhouse last night and heard some news. She explained to Lu Xiao: "Aloy is an exile and technically does not belong to the Nora tribe."
"Although the eldest mother Tilsa specifically allowed her to participate in the trial, many people in the clan still have a strong dislike for Aloy."
Outcasts, as the name suggests, are people who committed crimes and were expelled from the tribe.
The Nola tribe prohibits any verbal communication with the exiles, and violators will be punished by the Elder Mothers.
From the perspective of ordinary Nora people, it is natural for people to feel uncomfortable when someone who has committed a crime is standing next to them.
Even though they have no idea what crime Aloy committed.
When Lu Xiao and Yongzhen exchanged information, the trial officially began.
As expected, Aloy was targeted during the trial. She was the first to get the herbivore parts, but she was plotted by her competitors. The trophy was destroyed with bows and arrows, so she had to find another herbivore to get the trophy.
.
At this time, other young Nora tribe members participating in the trial have already begun their next step. They are groping forward in the harsh snow-capped mountains and climbing towards the finish line following the guidance marks left by the tribe.
Aloy is a very competitive and stubborn girl. Unwilling to admit defeat, she gritted her teeth and obtained the Herbivore parts again.
Aloy, who took an unusual path, deviated from the guided path. She was already behind when she started, and took advantage of a very dangerous shortcut to rush out of the snow-capped mountains first, and was the first to cross the finish line marked by the eldest mothers.
When Aloy had a verbal dispute with the middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks at the finish line, Lu Xiao captured dozens of Eclipse cultists who suddenly appeared in the snowy mountains through the eyes of the eagle.
"Get ready to fight. We can't let Aloy die here. She may be the key figure for us to find Hades."
The Eclipse Cultists hid near the snow-capped mountains and surrounded the young Nora tribe members participating in the trial, with their weapons ready to be fired.
Although she still doesn't know what's special about Aloy, Lu Xiao doesn't think that Sirius will make a sudden move without any reason.
According to Yongzhen's investigation, Aloy has just come of age this year. He has been learning arts in the mountains with his adoptive father. He has never left the territory of the Nora tribe and it is impossible for him to have contact with Siris of Calgar.
In this case, the reason why Sirius attaches so much importance to Aloy is very intriguing.
