68. People are not as good as heaven
Jian Ling hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled lukewarmly: "I kind of understand, why did you trick me here, the feeling is to throw this hot potato to me to deal with." This kind of thankless work is hard for you to think of me. ”
She wasn't stupid, and after thinking about it for a while, she quickly understood the purpose of the Ouer patriarch looking for her.
First, Gleason has followed the Patriarch of Ouer for so many years, and naturally he is unwilling to watch the Patriarch of Ouer go to his death, which no one in the clan can do; Second, if this thing is done, she will inevitably be resented by those beasts in the future, and she may even blame her for the patriarch's death.
No matter how good or bad this matter is, it will not benefit her in the end, but it will cause a lot of trouble in plain water.
Seeing that she didn't agree, the Patriarch of Ouer didn't force it, all of this was expected by him. Although she is young, she is well-informed, and she is far more intelligent and stable than the children of the clan. If you want her to help willingly, you can't just rely on two mouths.
Patriarch Orr continued, "I know that this matter is a bit difficult for you, so I have prepared a gift here, and as long as this thing can be done, it will belong to you. ”
He took off the black gem ring on his thumb and gently placed it in front of Jian Ling.
The round and smooth black gem glows with a faint luster under the candle flame, and if you look closely, you can also find that there are many dots of silver light hidden in this black gem, like the bright stars in the midsummer night sky.
Jian Ling smiled: "Are you buying me?" ”
Seeing that she was unmoved, the Ouer patriarch said again: "This ring was originally your father's belonging, and before he left the beast clan, he gave it to me, saying that it was a parting gift from a friend for many years. Now that I'm dying, if this ring is left on me, the final result will only be a funeral, and such a good workmanship has been wasted, so it is better to give it to you, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your father. ”
As if he didn't expect this ring to have such a background, Jian Ling was slightly stunned, and his gaze at the black gem ring also changed.
She reached out and twisted the ring, looked at it carefully, and then looked up again: "How do you know who my father is?" ”
"You look so much like Meech, especially the eyes, and I recognized you from the first time I saw you. Otherwise, how could I have decided to keep you so easily? My people have been living in seclusion for hundreds of years, and even if they come here, they must be cautious, but I have no doubts about you. ”
Jian Ling's heart revealed a little understanding: "You are very familiar with Mei Qi?" ”
Seeing that she called Mechi by his name, but did not call the other party his father, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Patriarch of Orr, and then he seemed to understand something, and did not delve into it.
He nodded, and said slowly: "My acquaintance with your father was when I was sixteen years old when I participated in the orc warrior assessment. Your father was very strong and easy-going, and he was a very easy person to get along with, and at that time, he had the highest prestige and reputation among the four Beastmaster heirs. Even I, who is also the heir, had to be impressed by his strength, and at that time, almost everyone thought that he would become the next Beastmaster, but it was a pity...... People are not as good as heaven. ”
He smiled helplessly, and there was pity in his eyes.
"So, do you know why Mezzie gave up the Beastmaster's inheritance?" Maitch's whereabouts are unknown, and the guys behind Rye are pointing the finger at her, making themselves scapegoats, and she has to figure out why, she doesn't want to die in vain.
He said he wanted to go out and see the outside world, to see what it was like to see humans who were treated as dung by the orcs. He felt that the beasts and humans had been fighting each other for so many years, and they had not been able to completely eliminate each other, so it was better to live in peace in a different way. He knew that this idea would drive the old folks of the Council of Elders insane, so in order to avoid getting into trouble, he took this idea and secretly left the orcs. I originally thought that he would only come back after playing outside for a few years, but what I didn't expect was that he would never return, and eventually became a traitor wanted by the orcs. ”
"I heard from Rye that the main reason Mezzie is wanted is because he took away the orc's biggest secret?"
Hearing this, the Ouer patriarch paused slightly, and looked at Jian Ling with a little more surprise in his eyes: "Lai will even tell you this kind of thing?" ”
Obviously, he didn't believe in such important things, and Rye would casually tell others, especially since they were related to Meech.
Jian Ling replied calmly: "I gave him some medicine." ”
Patriarch Ouer suddenly realized: "Heh, your skill in healing medicine is even higher than I imagined. ”
Jian Ling smiled and didn't speak.
The Patriarch of Orr continued, "Your father has indeed taken away the greatest secret of the Beast Clan, which is a secret that only the Beast Kings of the past generations will know, and it is related to the life and death of the Beast Clan. Your father did not become the Beastmaster, but went to the human society with a secret to survive, which is tantamount to the greatest betrayal for the Beasts, which is why he has been wanted for so many years. ”
"So, you don't know what that secret is?"
The eyes of the Ouer patriarch were secretive: "Don't say that I really don't know, even if I do, I will say that I don't know." There are some things, the more you know, the more people want you to die. ”
Jian Ling suppressed his curiosity and nodded: "Thanks for the reminder." ”
"You let me, an old man, talk so much, I haven't even drunk a sip of water until now, I don't know how you think about what I asked you to do?"
Jian Ling looked down at the black gem ring on his hand, and there was no emotion in his eyes: "I still have two things I want to ask you." ”
"Tell me about it."
"Meech was a general in the Welsh Empire and mysteriously disappeared during the Battle of Exclusion Zone Three, and I stumbled upon some information about Meech, which showed some research reports on the orcs. What I want to ask is, is there anyone who **** Mechi's identity as an orc? ”
The Ouer patriarch frowned slightly: "There is still such a thing?" Although it is said that Mechi is a wanted criminal of the Orcs, the Orcs have always looked down on humans, and it is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to cooperate with humans, let alone hand over the secret Meqi to humans. ”
Wait for me for fifteen minutes!!
