1547 cycle
The clear sky gradually sank with the passage of the never-ending wind on the grassland, and gradually became the dominant color in every corner of the continent as the dusk of February 28, 796 of the new calendar, as if the same color as the flame that had risen before, and at this time, it was also in this way, looking at the desolate scene between the ruins of the villages that had lost the scene of fierce battles - as the Nashi retreated like a tide, The surrounding area of the Nasu settlement, which had been extinguished by the fire, was once again replaced by the silence peculiar to the post-war period, and the wind blowing around the grassland seemed to be aware of the tragic outcome of the war, and gradually calmed down around the settlement: "I didn't expect them to actually retreat - Fura's face is really big." β
"That Shire may not know yet, but that Shitu must know something, he obviously knows Fula's strength and identity as a dragon, so he retreated so simply and completely."
"Well, there's room for discussion in the middle: how did they recognize Furla's identity? Judging by the existing appearance, the woman ...... The she-dragon looked no different from a normal human. β
"In other words, most of the people of the Nashi tribe know about the dragon species, right? Call...... This is where it gets interesting. β
The low voice of discussion echoed around the desolate wreckage of the settlement, and several adventurers who had gathered together then also fell their respective faces between each other's eyes, and they also looked tired at this time, but the tone of their talk was still full of lingering excitement: "It is related to the shady curtain behind fate, and it has some inexplicable relationship with the dragons...... Why is this Nashi so mysterious? β
"Mysterious hairy, his subordinates are just defeated! Look at the way they were frightened by Furla's tactics just now, and finally fled from the ruins...... Is my last move handsome? Does it feel like Black Sand Castle is the leading boss? β
"Take the lead? Are you sure it's not the little brother who follows the fox behind the back of the fox? The real boss is clearly whether Fla is good or not - huh? What about Fura? Where did she run away again? β
"Aside from a few of us, she had no interest in the other humans here for the time being, so after scaring them away and not needing her to continue to waste her expressions, she ran away again and went about what she was interested in."
Slowly let out a sigh similar to helplessness, Duan Qing, who had made an explanation, then turned his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance of the settlement: "Of course, she left a request before leaving-uh no, please entrust me, hoping that I can fulfill my previous promise and bring certain 'guides' who are familiar with this continent into our team." β
"It's also a sequelae of my previous efforts to pull her over to stand for us."
A wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and the gray-robed magician put on a helpless expression towards the others, as if he sensed the meaning behind this bitter smile, and then he also put away his widening eyes, and turned his lips to look into the corner of the ruins not far away: "Hey, I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch." β
"If you want to activate these seemingly powerful NPCs in our team, you naturally need to pay a corresponding price." The answer to him was the rising sun lying on the side, and the movement of supporting the back of his head with one arm and then gradually disappeared with his lying posture: "This kind of truth is simply simple, even some of the great gods in our team, if they want to help, they need to negotiate conditions." β
"You, who do you say?" Before the other people around him could respond, Mengzhu, who was sitting in the corner and had never made a sound, suddenly made his own voice at this time: "I don't need you to save me!" The level of suspicion of your identity will not be dispelled from my mind by this level of performance......"
"Am I suspicious? What am I suspicious about? Asahi Dongsheng screamed with a dissatisfied face: "I've been following this team and doing my best, and I almost didn't sell my pants to you, what's wrong with me?" β
"Anyway, you just have a problem." It seems that he also knows that his unwarranted suspicion is not very reasonable, and the expression of Mengzhu, who was buried between the hoods, also became embarrassed at this time: "Even if you save my life, those suspicious actions of yours will not be easily erased!" You can't escape my eyes! β
"If you're still the same Lorna as before, I'll probably have a little respect for you." Loosening his shoulders slightly, Asahi Dongsheng lay on his side as if he didn't want to pay attention to Mengzhu: "But now you-ha, you ask these people around you, who wants to listen to your nonsense?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hey, is my image so miserable in your minds?"
In the face of the sudden silence between the atmosphere of everyone's discussion, Asahi Dongsheng suddenly turned back from his side lying position: "You don't really believe it, do you?" No way? I'm going to call the police! β
"The celebration feast for the rest of our lives after the catastrophe has not yet been placed, do we already need to deal with the rhythm of infighting first?" Pouting his mouth, Gedmayne, who was sitting on the side and slapping his shield, also rolled his eyes: "Well, I also remembered one thing: where did you pick up your knife?" β
"Knives? Are you talking about the knife I'm using now? Stretching out his hand and nodding at the blade that he had tied to his arm with a bandage, Asahi Dongsheng replied with an inexplicable expression: "I said it before, this is what I picked up when I was by the river, although I may have just picked up an amazing weaponβwhy, you don't suspect that I am related to the people of the Nashi tribe because of this, right?" Do I look like the kind of person who carries the blame? β
"Of course not, after all, you still slashed and killed a lot of Nashi warriors." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the corner of the ruins, scratched his head and replied, "You just think that we are jealous of your sudden good luck, so let's ask such a question casually." β
"Anyway, seeing that you are so pitiful now, we will not ruthlessly snatch your loot."

[Weapon Power: Strong]
[Equipment Requirements: Strength 30, Agility 12]
[Strength +3, Agility +2]

[The war blade that has been circulated among the various tribes of the Wind Continent and is used to reward the tribal warriors is a proof of the glory of the tribal warriors, because it has been affected by the war and the power of the tribal warriors for a long time, and its rough blades themselves have been filled with some hidden and powerful forces. γ
[This tribal warrior's blade has undergone some special modifications, allowing it to exert more symbolic power that is unique to a certain tribe, but due to the neglect of its original owner, this power is far less than before.] γ
"Is this our trophy?"
Looking at the long knife that was untied by the rising sun and thrown in front of everyone, Duan Qing finally smacked his lips and let out such a sigh: "Looking at these skills and the description above, it should be the knife that was thrown by Shi Long before, right?" β
"Epic, and more or less co-opted and related weapons in terms of effect - judging by the effect you've used, this thing is also the best of the best." The expressionless Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side then moved his strange gaze from the blade in front of him to the body of the rising sun: "In the end, you were lucky to pick it up, it's a miracle of miracles." β
"Don't say such misleading words! I really picked it up! The white-haired woman's yin and yang strange words unexpectedly caused a huge backlash from the rising sun: "Then how about I hand over this pie that fell from the sky to the organization?" Please organize a smile and prove my innocence by the way! β
"No need, there aren't many people in our team who are good at making knives." Shaking his head slightly, Xue Lingphantom Bing's expression at this time was as faint and full of majesty as if he had recovered the leader of the team: "This thing is better left for you to use first, just as the reward we got after fighting by the Barrow River for so long will be distributed to you in advance." β
"Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't gotten loot in a long time." Duan Qing, who also put away his gaze and shook his head, also fell on the edge of the ruins in the distance as if he had just thought of something: "We lost so much in the first battle of the Tower of Tyranny, but in the end we didn't gain anything." β
"At least we got the friendship of Molnar, and Fura was left in the team together." The Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side replied in a low voice, "As for ourselves, does the discovery of the New World and the first right to explore it count?" β
"Yes, of course, we've even gotten involved in the local gangs." Reluctantly turned around, and Gedmayne, who had raised his arms, turned to point behind him: "It's a pityβ"
"This 'local gang' looks like it's about to be wiped out now."
Following the direction he turned around, Duan Qing and the others, who were sitting in place to rest, then also looked at the ruins of the settlement of the Nasu tribe, and among the countless scorched black traces that had been burned out by the fire, some of the surviving clan members also appeared at this time, and the movements of each of them were filled with the sound of crying and grief. Walking out of the small courtyard surrounded by this heavy atmosphere, Surtu, who was also watching all this, gradually retracted his gaze like iron and stone at this time, and one of the several Sioux warriors who were waiting behind him also gradually walked out of the other warriors' blank eyes at this time, and gradually walked behind him: "Surtu, Surtu." β
"The patriarch told you to pass."
The warrior let go of his body and showed the road leading to the masonry ancestral hall in front of the other party, and the first warrior of the tribe, who had a hairband tied on his head and eye sockets sunk in the hairband, did not move for a long time, and the rusty body gradually turned around after a long time with the other party's words. As if they had learned something in advance, the rest of the remaining Nasu warriors around the courtyard of the ancestral hall also lowered their heads in unison at this time with the first step taken by Surtu, and they watched the burly warrior with heavy steps gradually disappear under the dimly lit eaves of the ancestral hall, and looked at the face of the already weak old man together with Sutar, who was also standing in that direction: "...... There you are. β
"Patriarch." The expression of gritted teeth flashed, and Surtu, who breathed a sigh of relief, replied calmly in a deep voice: "Don't say anything, you can rest well." β
"The revelation of fate will not change, and my life will come to an end." Without any movement, Na Suji, who was lying in the midst of everyone's eyes, said intermittently: "I thought that the appearance of the Chosen One would bring about changes, but the final result is ...... Hehe, it seems that God still won't forgive the old man who deserves to die. β
"Don't be sad, this fault has nothing to do with you." There seemed to be a glittering light in his eyes, and the old man's sighing voice was also very long in Surtu's ears: "I will take the price and remorse of many dead tribesmen together, and go to the grassland soil to slowly confess myself." β
"No, Patriarch, please don't say any more." As if squeezing these words out of his teeth, Surtu said in a choked voice, "It's not your fault, it's those Nashβ"
"Barish's duel ceremony, did you win in the end?"
ββ¦β¦ No. β
"What about the performance of those adventurers?"
Interrupting Surtu's words, the old man's voice that had retracted the last of his breath echoed in front of Surtu and the other clansmen: "What I told you before...... Is there any verification? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Looks like you already have the answer."
A smile tugged at the old man's face, and a glimmer of light reappeared in the old man's gaze that was originally filled with emptiness: "It doesn't seem that my wish has been completely disappointed, has it?" β
"Patriarch ......"
"Take this."
Without giving the sad Surtu more chance to speak, the trembling body of the old man Na Suji, who was weak, finally moved, and he stretched out one of his hands in front of everyone, and stuffed a jewel-like object in his hand into Surtu's arms: "You should know how to do it." β
"If I die, the position of patriarch will be handed over to you."
