173 Secret Talks and Decisions: I Don't Believe He Is Uncompromising!
Ji Mo explained seriously: "Priest of the Tower, because it is the herbs of the Sea Clan, they are all used in the water, and I am worried that taking them out at will will change the properties of the medicine, so I put it at home at the bottom of the lake." β
The old priest nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Thankfully, you're not confused, this herb is very different, and you must keep it - but can you take a little bit of it and let me see? β
Ji Mo nodded quickly, "Of course you can, it was originally brought to you." β
Ao Yang's heart slowly put back when he mentioned his throat, held his partner's hand, and watched quietly, still silent.
The two children, Xitu and Ao Yi, couldn't care so much, they were muttering and talking, working together to barbecue meat, eager and intimate, reuniting after a long absence, and there were countless things to say.
"That, that...... That's right. The old priest fell into a difficult thought, "Ji Mo, then what do you say should I do?" β
"Hey, what's so hard about that?" Ji Mo waved his hand and suggested, "Priest Tower, my eldest brother's arrangement is actually very goodβjust take over the few people in your tribe who have eaten the fruit, isn't that okay?" Qingzhe's situation is like this, can you bear to leave him in the holy lake? Qingzhe is also from the beast tribe! β
The old priest's face turned pale, and he hurriedly defended: "I didn't say that I left Qingzhe alone, I am, I am, I am...... Alas, I'll try to come back sooner. In fact, as a priest, Ta understands better in his heart that Qingzhe's physical condition is very bad, and he really needs to watch it day and night.
"Actually, I don't care, butγBut the tribe doesn't agree." Due to Qing Zhe Xitu's presence, the old priest didn't make his words too clear, "My people don't agree to Ao Yang's proposal, what can I, an old guy, do?" There are clansmen on both sides, what do you want me to do? β
Ji Mo comforted: "We all understand your eagerness to save people, so let's do it, I will meet with the orcs of your tribe tomorrow, and strive for their consent to transfer those orcs to the holy lake for treatment, so that you don't have to worry about it." β
The old priest's eyes showed a little bit of the essence of getting his wish, but his face was not obvious, and he simply said neatly: "Okay, then I will wait for your good news, but you have to hurry, I must see those clansmen as soon as possible!" β
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Ji Mo promised with a smile.

At this time, in the bushes on the outskirts of the sacred lake, several orc warriors of the beast tribe were intently observing the situation of the wooden houses in the lake in the distance.
"Why haven't you heard the Tower Priest speak? Is something wrong? Brown Bear asked worriedly.
"Yes, just now I heard the tower priest say that he would return to the tribe tomorrow, but he must have been stopped by the evil dragon again!" Joe gritted his teeth and growled.
A couldn't help but guess: "Ahem, will the evil dragon give the tower priestβ"
"No, it won't." Rui calmly interrupted his companion's speculation, and this powerful orc, who was also the father of Situa, said, "Qingzhe's situation is so special now, how dare the evil dragon treat the tower priest?" β
Qiao flicked his tail angrily, desperately stretched his neck to look at the wooden house not far away, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, that evil dragon, I don't know if it's true or false, it's actually so good to Qing Zhe, it's just, it's not like an evil dragon!" β
The other orcs could only pretend not to hear, because there was really nothing to say: Qingzhe was originally a female in his tribe, but unfortunately Xige did evil and did the ugly thing of betraying his family, and he complained that Qingzhe was disheartened and bravely walked out of the tribe to marry the evil dragon.
But the honest brown bear didn't care so much, A shouted without scruples: "Hey, even if it's an evil dragon, he needs to find a partner to start a family and have cubs, what's so strange about this!" Qingzhe is such a good female, Hig is really confused, he actually has the face to come to the holy lake to say those words a few days ago, he is really embarrassed by the face of our orcs - you say, since Hig has decided to be with Kari, why bother Qingzhe? Even if Qing Zhe is with the evil dragon, it is Qing Zhe who is willing, what is the matter with him Xige? Look, Higg made Qingzhe angry like that, and he also angered the evil dragon, and even Xitu was angry-"
"Alright, alright." Seeing that his companion became more and more energetic and angry as he spoke, Rui had to interrupt, "It's a private matter between them, and we can't manage it if we want to, so let's quickly think of a way to take the tower priest back and wait for him to save his life." β
Joe said helplessly: "I heard the tower priest say that he wanted to come back, but the evil dragon won't let go, what should I do?" β
"Who was it that walked up from the lake to the hut? The quarrel could not be heard. Rui wondered, "Forget it, let's go back and rest first, it's too late, it's a busy day again." β
A group of orc warriors walked back listlessly.
"It's all to blame on Higg, if it weren't for his impulsive trouble, the dragon wouldn't have been provoked." The one who said this was still a straightforward, fast-talking brown bear.
Although the other orcs didn't say anything, they all had some opinions in their hearts.

In the wooden house in the lake, Ao Ke quietly pushed open the window and looked at it for a long time, then sighed happily, turned his head and said, "Big brother, those orcs have gone back!" β
"Hmm." Ao Yang nodded lightly and said helplessly: "However, they will come early tomorrow morning." β
Ji Mo finished eating a piece of fragrant barbecue, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and said, "That's good, how to contact them if I don't have a headache." β
Xitu immediately said: "Uncle Ji, I'll accompany you tomorrow, those are all warriors in the tribe, I know them all!" β
Ji Mo smiled appreciatively at Xitu, but did not agree immediately, but cautiously asked his brother first: "Big brother, is this okay?" Have you ever fought before? β
By this time, Qingzhe and the elderly priest had already gone back to sleep, and they were both exhausted from the recent quarrels and the stiff atmosphere.
"It's not much of a fight." Ao Yang frowned slightly, carefully considered the words with difficulty, and just wanted to add a few more sentences, the little tiger cub opened his mouth angrily:
"It's all my beast father's fault, he's too much! I hate him even more now! β
"Hittu." Ao Yang immediately stopped, "You go back to the house to rest first, get up early tomorrow, and take Yi'er to play." β
"Father, I'm not wrongβ" Xitu was aggrieved and angry, and became more and more disgusted with his biological father.
Ao Yang raised his hand, his tone was gentle, his attitude was resolute, and he said, "Obedient!" Go back to the house and rest, you're not old enough to take care of these things, and you'll judge everything when you're olderβfor now, I'll take care of it. β
Rong Tuo helped and persuaded: "Yes, Xitu, go back to the house and rest, didn't you make an appointment with the little prince to pick fruits to eat tomorrow?" You see that the little prince has already fallen asleep, maybe he will get up earlier than you tomorrow, and then he will block you in the bed! β
Yes, Xiaolong was sleeping soundly in his uncle's arms, he was playing with Xitu, he was so tired that he fell asleep unconsciously, because he was in a very good mood, and he laughed several times in his sleep, innocent and cute.
Rong Tuo likes to play with children, and raises Rong Gege, and has a lot of research on children's psychology, and he successfully moved Xitu in a few words.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, you talk, I'll go to sleep first. Xitu said awkwardly, walked slowly towards the bedroom, and muttered in a low voice: "I will definitely get up early tomorrow, how can I be blocked in the bed by Yi'er?" β
With a soft "click", the door to Xitu's room was closed from the inside.
The people in the living room continued to discuss business.
ββ¦β¦ Will this work? Ao Yang asked worriedly, his voice very low: "Na Xige is still the patriarch of the beast tribe, I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded and dark-minded, not acting in the slightest, and not distinguishing between public and private. β
Ji Mo comforted: "There are all kinds of orcs, don't take it to heart, big brother." Think about it, what kind of warrior is Higg who even abandoned his partner's children and ignored Qingzhe, who was seriously ill at the beginning? Therefore, I am not going to go directly to him, because it is easy to be pinched when talking to him, and I miss the opportunity. β
Rong Tuo asked curiously: "Then who are you going to talk to?" β
"Ordinary orcs who will come to the Holy Lake early tomorrow morning?" Ao Ke relayed and guessed.
Ji Mo nodded and patiently explained: "Actually, it can't be an ordinary orc, at least it is also at the warrior level - from the beast tribe to the holy lake, in the middle of which has to cross a large area of primeval jungle, how dare ordinary orcs come?" β
Ao Ke looked at the mermaid with great interest, because in his impression, the mermaids were all shy and timid, and he had never paid attention to any mermaid before, mainly because he felt that dealing with mermaids was a waste of time and energy, and it was useless.
"Ahem!" Rong Tuo coughed warningly, lifted the wooden pier with a calm demeanor, and sat next to Ji Mo, separating Ao Ke's sight.
Ji Mo and Ao Yang were engrossed in whispering discussions, and the two of them didn't have the time or mood to pay attention to Ao Ke, so they didn't notice anything unusual.
ββ¦β¦ I'll list all three conditions tomorrow, and tell the orcs not to expect them to nod, but to let them take the word back to the tribe. As the saying goes, people are terrible, people are angry, even if Higg is the patriarch, he has to compromise - if he doesn't compromise, then those orcs will be killed by him! β
Ao Yang nodded seriously, "Yes." However, Ji Mo, what if the herbs you brought didn't work, and those orcs really died? β
Ji Mo sighed, his expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "At the beginning, I made it clear to the tower priest: Heguo is the medicine of our sea clan, if it is used on land orcs, no one knows what the effect is, there must be risks." I had thought that the tower priest would cautiously try one first, but who knew that he would use all four in one go, alas......"
"Hey, I know why!" Rong Tuo said triumphantly.
βοΌβ Ji Mo turned his head curiously.
"Actually, it's very simple, the tower priest wants to be the most wise and great priest, if he can solve the big problem of the reproduction of the beast tribe, then it will be worth it? Use one at a time, if it fails, no one will dare to try again, it is better to let four orcs try it at once, even if one succeeds in the end, the tower priest is considered a success, tsk~" Rong Tuo pouted and explained in a ruffian.
The words were not rough, Rong Tuo actually accurately guessed the old priest's thoughts.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.
The old priest actually took a very big risk and tried to advocate the experiment in the tribe.
Ji Mo was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "Isn't it?" If it fails, won't four innocent orcs die? β
"Hmm...... No one wants to see this, but the tower priest must have made it clear in advance, otherwise it wouldn't be intentional killing? Rong Tuo shrugged and guessed.
Ao Yang waved his hand, "That's all the internal affairs of the beast tribe, it's useless for us to talk about it." β
Ji Mo yawned, straightened his waist, thumped his back, and said, "Everyone go back to rest, get up early tomorrow and go to meet the warriors of the beast tribe!" 166 Reading Network
