The old tortoiseshell took a sip of hot tea and then groaned for a long time, and both Shay and Mondo's eyes widened in anticipation of some useful information coming out of his mouth, only to have not a single fart.

"Elder, don't you have something to tell us?" Mondo glanced at Andulan at a distance, whetting their appetites, but pounced.

The tortoiseshell elder rubbed the clay tea bowl and smiled, revealing his toothless gums.

"It's just something that doesn't matter what I said, you need to feel it for yourself to see the truth, my Highness. It's not a glorious thing, it can be said to be a scandal of the beasts, and at my age, I don't like to chew the root of people's tongues. Elder Andulan said casually.

Seeing that Xia Yi and Mondo were still staring at him, Andulan couldn't drink his tea.

"Besides, even if I tell you, how much will I be credible? You must suspect that I am lying to you......"

Andulan's nails pressed against the stone table, his nails longer than his fingers, and he wondered if the road was smoked or dirty. Shay and Mondo had no choice but to give up, they couldn't put a knife on his neck.

"Tell me, two young men, how did you come together? How did a creature from the Forsaken Lands and a baby orc become companions? The old tortoiseshell's eyes gleamed, and he must have been very curious about it.

Xia Yi thought to herself, this old tortoiseshell doesn't know everything.

"Elder, our companions are much more than that." Xia Yi didn't answer him directly, "I still have Shadow Cat People and Hobbit Halflings in my territory. And a few forest trolls......"

The old tortoiseshell listened to it and couldn't help but sigh, "You must be great to have the allegiance of the halflings, they are the best gourmets." Even the royal family of mankind does not have a single halfling cook! It seems that the wasteland is going to be a little more lively, the red soil slopes have been silent for hundreds of years, and the butterflies and bees are almost suffocated, and they accompany me every day......

"Hundreds of years? You mean......"

"Yes, just like you. He's also an interesting skeleton, but he doesn't have as much of a casual and follower as you, like a ...... Sauron? He was so clever that he brought thousands of skeletons directly from the Abandoned Lands, ordered them to work day and night, and built a big castle on the red clay slopes, we all called it the Tower of Babel, and you live there now, right? ”

The old tortoiseshell gushed endlessly, and he felt that it was really a project that even he was amazed at. If it weren't for the fact that skeletons wouldn't be tired, it would be impossible for any creature on the continent to build such a large castle.

"Yes......" Xia Yi was a little absent-minded because she was attracted to another thing!

Thousands of skeletons?

The implication is that the Skeleton King already has a way to get the undead to the mainland! In other words, he has some kind of channel that allows the skeleton to reach the continent, the opposite direction. That is, he is free to return to the Forsaken Land!

How did he do it?

At the temple of Häagen-Dazs Snow Mountain, the Skeleton King didn't tell her about it! She is now considered an official inheritor, and the Skeleton King even used some method to directly pass on the Death Realm to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi's current mood is to guard a vault, but there is no key!

The Zombie King left Shay with a wealth of possessions, and he didn't give her the key...... It's frustrating. Xia Yi thought to herself, when she got back to the castle, she would have to turn it inside out.

Andulan didn't notice that Xia Yi was stunned, because he was also hesitating about another thing, finally. He chose to speak.

"The new owner of the Red Clay Slopes, can I ask you for one thing......

The old tortoiseshell's face was a little unnatural, but now that he had no other way, he originally wanted to ask the shepherd. But the shepherd did not have this ability.

Xia Yi felt as if he was in trouble again, and said, "What does Elder Andulan command?" ”

"Thank you very much." The old tortoiseshell smiled, and Xia Yi said yes.

"At my age, I have some premonitions about what will happen in the future, this is the instinct of the god of time to give all long-lived lives, not to mention, the hawksbill turtles are a race that is good at prophecy. A month ago, my tortoiseshell shell told me that my time was running out and that my life was coming to an end......"

Mondo was shocked and sighed, it turned out that no life is eternal, and long-lived tortoiseshell people will also die of old age. The undead claim to be immortal, but after all, no undead creature can exist forever, they are afraid of the light and flames, and ordinary undead will burn into ashes even if they get the slightest flame.

"Once life is too long, it will feel boring, I should have reported it to my ancestors a long time ago, but I have always been relieved of them, the only two Zerg people left on the continent. They have never been in contact with the outside world, and they don't even have the ability to protect themselves, and I'm afraid that if I die, the Zerg will come to an end......"

Elder Tortoiseshell is the blessing of the Zerg, which is the reason why he is respected by the two Zergs.

"So you want to use the force of the Red Soil Slope to protect the last two Zergs?"

"Yes, as you just said, you have a retinue of Shadow Cats and other samurai, so I beg you that the Butterfly and Bee People will not take any of your resources, you just need to help them when they are in trouble, and they will not be exterminated......"

Andulan was on the verge of tears, and that was the only thing he couldn't reassure about.

The old tortoiseshell was afraid that Xia Yi would not agree, so he kept persuading: "You know, beemen have always been a hard-working race, and they are natural archers, and every adult beeman's archery skills will not be worse than that of elves, and they can buy you another army." And the Butterfly People used to be known as the best gardeners, and they can arrange a beautiful garden for you......"

"Of course, if the Zerg want to, they can even move to my castle without living in a cave."

Xia Yi gladly accepted, the Red Clay Plateau is still very desolate, it must be a good thing to have more people, any race has their value, even if Elder Andulan doesn't say it, her intention in coming to Jilei Mountain is to win over the Zerg. What's more, with her current strength, this is just a gesture.

This is a mutually beneficial thing, and in the face of an old man's sincere pleading and expectant eyes, Xia Yi is difficult to refuse.

Andulan breathed a sigh of relief, and he half-leaned back on the stone table, repeating the words of gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, your kindness is enough to put the human priest to shame......"

Xia Yi was really embarrassed, and she still wondered if she could ask for some payment......

"To thank you for your gift, I am willing to dedicate all my things to you......"

Andulan fumbled through his sack, then in a small rudimentary cupboard, only to find that he was empty-handed, so poor that he had not even a single item of value.

"I'm sorry......" Andulan said embarrassedly, "I can give you my tortoiseshell shell, and when I'm dead, you can peel it off, trust me, it will help you......"

Xia Yi didn't know what to say, why did she want a turtle shell? Do you carry it all day long as armor? Or sleep in it as a sleeping bag? Shay had the scene of her carrying a turtle shell on her back in her mind, so forget it......

Mondo knew that Xia Yi misunderstood, and he said: "The tortoiseshell armor can be said to be the most precious thing in their clan, and the ancient astrologers used the carapace to prophesy, so in the beast clan, they still keep the old tortoiseshell carapace, which is the most valuable gift of the tortoiseshell people......"

Xia Yi's expression became serious, and at the same time he felt a little sad, this old tortoiseshell used the last thing in his life as a reward, and only asked Xia Yi to protect the Zerg he had guarded all his life.

Andulan had said that he was atoning for his sins. Xia Yi couldn't help but wonder, what did the tortoiseshell people do? For what is Andulan willing to atone for his sins?

Xia Yi knew that the turtle shell could be used for divination, but she didn't think that the tortoiseshell armor was so precious that she couldn't peel it off after Andulan's death......

So Xia Yi was just perfunctory, pretending to be grateful, Andulan was an old elf, how could he not see it? He was relieved that Wen Jia's instincts were right, she was not a greedy lord.

"If you really can't accept it, I think I can solve your other trouble." "Hobbit halflings are a food-loving race, but in the wasteland, the yield of food is low, the climate and soil are not suitable for crops, and if you have many followers, there must be a lack of food......

Xia Yi sighed, don't dislike an old man with dizzy eyes, he may know everything, but he doesn't expose it. Elder Andulan had lived in the wasteland for so long, and he could tell at a glance what was going on in Xia Yi's troubles.

"Do you have any how?"

This is a very headache for Xia Yi, she promised halfling food, and has not found a solution so far.

"It is true that the wasteland is not as rich as the south, otherwise even the goblins would have to survive on the corpses of their companions...... But my old friend, he should be able to solve this problem. ”

Andulan turned to the silent shepherd and spoke to him in obscure language, and from his expression, it was clear that he was asking for a shepherd. Finally, the tree wrangler nodded and pulled out a small bottle of special characteristics from the hole in the tree on his body.

Andulan handed the vial to Shay and said, "This is the fountain of the forest, the essence of life condensed by the forest, and a drop can create a forest. My friend came to the wasteland this time to turn the wasteland into a forest, but unfortunately he is alone, and he can never complete it, and human beings are endlessly greedy for it, and even if my friend spends all his time on this, he can't compare to the speed of human deforestation and destruction......"

Xia Yi's eyes were shining, and she carefully held the small bottle, this is for her, but baby, this small bottle of forest spring, she has not come in vain!
