"I apologize for what Ligel has done before."

As the mysterious man said, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and the others were also appearing in a spacious tent in the Nasu clan at this time, and the pungent smell of various herbs that were different from ordinary tents was constantly filling their left and right at this time, accompanied by bottles and cans full of tribal style and a crowd of onlookers full of tribal style: "Regarding the fact that he is so ignorant, I will lecture him well later." ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... Ouch yo yo. ”

Duan Qing, grinning and covering his shoulder, and his right arm had been bandaged three times, reluctantly replied with a bright smile: "This is just the inevitable result of our one-on-one duel with each other, how can a duel not hurt." ”

"As long as there are no deaths in the end." He smiled and finished his last sentence, as if he was quite satisfied with the final result of his previous battle: "I hope that the nobles will not blame us for Liger's injury for the same reason." ”

"Of course not, as you say, it's a duel." As if he understood the meaning of Duan Qing's words at this time, the old man sitting opposite Duan Qing who was wearing tribal clothes all over his body and had an extremely old face replied calmly: "Since it is a fair duel that is recognized by both sides, I think Liger himself will also approve of this result in the end. ”

"He's learned a big lesson."

Gesturing in a certain direction outside the tent, the old man turned his gaze to the rest of the players around Duan Qing who were lying on the hospital bed in the tent: "I remember that you are called the Qingling Adventure Group, right?" Please do not blame our tribe too much for what has happened to your companions. ”

"No need to say anything superfluous." The serious eyebrows loosened a little with the appearance of the other party's words, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had been holding a straight face, asked the other party in an indifferent voice: "We only want to know one thing: have we passed the test like this?" ”

"Well...... According to the old rules of the tribe, only the one who defeated Liger passed the test. Reaching out and pulling his beard, the old man's face with his hair covered by the ornate tribal headdress seemed to show a look of embarrassment: "But judging from the past performance of the 'Barish' ceremony, there may really be all kinds of accidents in the process of the sacred duel, so-"

"I don't think it's okay to bring a few more people." He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then asked again with a look behind him that had regained his majesty: "What do you think, Surtu?" ”

"Since the patriarch said so, I will not object." In response to the old man's words, the tall figure of the man named Surtu then appeared among the crowd of onlookers around the tent: "I just think that the people of the Nashi tribe may disagree. ”

"It's too early to talk about the fact that they didn't even send back the willingness to be challenged by our 'Barish'." With a slight sigh of relief, the old man known as the patriarch replied calmly, "But I think they will accept it, after all, if they want to win, they will definitely do things where we can't see." ”

“…… I understand. Looking at the back of the patriarch and the old man steadily, Surtu, who had been silent for a long time, turned around and walked towards the rear again: "We will also be ready." ”

"I'm sorry, but the people of our tribe are a little nervous right now." Shaking his head slightly, the old man once again pulled his gaze back to Duan Qing's body: "At the moment of the great enemy, I can't ask too much of them, I just hope to provide more help to my clansmen within a limited range." ”

"What I said in the tribal arena, my subordinates must have reached your ears." Signaling to the side with the intact hand, Duan Qing's face still maintained a faint smile: "If you don't have enough confidence in our loyalty, it is enough to exchange the right conditions, after all, you see-as long as the price is right, we adventurers are all people who dare to sell their lives." ”

"My own strength has been proven in the battle just now, and I can guarantee that these companions around me will not have any weaker strength and skill than me." His voice paused, and the gesture of gesture also swept over Xue Linghuanbing and the others beside him: "Although I don't know if it's appropriate to say this, but we who dare to 'work hard' will definitely be more 'useful' than the warriors of your clan." ”

"Our tribe is not well paid." His eyes fell silent in the act of closing his eyes in contemplation, and the patriarch of the Sioux tribe slowly confided his long-considered words after a long time: "We may not be able to fully meet the reward you have requested. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the patriarch has such a will." Regaining the appearance of lying on the bed at the beginning, Duan Qing also showed his smile to the old man in front of him again: "The reward we ask for is not necessarily material. ”

"As long as it's appropriate, everything has to be discussed."

After another brief conversation, the patriarch of the Nasu clan finally got up and left this place, and although the footsteps of the onlookers lined up looked extremely grand in front of several players, the expression hidden in turning back and leaving this place was no longer visible. Imagining the choice that the other party might be making at this time, Duan Qing's face as she lay back on the hospital bed became a little more solemn, and the voice belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice then sounded in the noise of the Sioux people around the tent gradually dispersed, accompanied by her tone that also became serious: "Are we talking a little too bluntly?" ”

"We don't know what kind of people the tribes of the steppe like, but at least there's nothing wrong with being honest." Still not getting rid of his contemplative appearance, Duan Qing replied with a solemn face: "Everything we have done so far is enough to show our sincerity, if we wait for us to deliberately snatch the credit before petitioning them, the effect may not be better than now." ”

"Now it can only be seen what this patriarch thinks." He also nodded his head, and Gedmayne, who was gathered on the other side, also replied: "I don't know what the origin of that Nashi tribe is, I think that people, including the Nasuji patriarch, seem to be very nervous now." ”

"Does this count as robbery?" The one-armed Asahi Dongsheng also pulled the corners of his mouth and made his own voice: "That old man just looked like he wanted to refuse but was very embarrassed, and he seemed to have a lot of thoughts in his heart." ”

"The way the old man talked just now is very similar to ours."

Slightly relieved, Duan Qing, who had recovered from his contemplative solemnity, replied in a low voice, "Or to be more precise, his conversation is closer to that of our Free Continent...... Did he communicate with people like that before? “

"Probably not." Denied it at the first time, Xue Lingxuan said his answer in a deep voice: "And we have been in contact with this patriarch a few times in the past period, and his style of conversation and speech is not as smooth as it is today...... He's communicating with us in a different language and habits, do you want to say that? ”

"Coupled with the friendliness he showed today—perhaps this patriarch really has studied the culture of our adventurers more deeply." So Duan Qing shook his head with a smile: "If not, then he is also hiding some secrets that we don't know." ”

"If you take this as a starting point, Surtu's attitude towards us also looks suspicious." Xue Lingphantasm Ice also frowned and gradually spoke: "It feels like I knew for a long time that we would participate in the rituals of the clan...... Had he already obtained the patriarch's permission? ”

"Anyway, that guy said he would take us to meet the patriarch." Shrugging half of his shoulder, Duan Qing replied indifferently: "I just didn't know that the meeting just now was not within the scope of that guy's consideration." ”

"He may have his own ideas for solving the current crisis of the Nasviux, although that doesn't matter to us now." Slowly standing up, Gedmayne on the side stretched out his head to look at the outside of the tent that was still alive: "If it weren't for the fact that you are seriously injured now, we might have become the guests of the patriarch." ”

"Don't mention it, I don't know why it ended up like this." Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and raised his arm, which had been wrapped in bandages three times: "I have already made the hardest reinforcement with earth-based magic, but I still smashed into pieces in the impact of that punch......"

"Who told you to use all the magic that can increase your speed on yourself?" It seemed that he had finally mentioned the topic that he cared about, and Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also showed a dissatisfied expression on his face: "The Ice Path, the Wind Passage, and even released a continuous flame blast at every node in front of him...... Don't you think you're dying fast enough? ”

"What else can I do, I'm worried that that punch won't be able to decide the winner." A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing's gaze also looked into the distance outside the tent: "There is no follow-up combat power, and it is not easy to win the only best opportunity, if I don't take advantage of that time to 'sneak attack' the strongest punch I can throw into the other party's face, I can-"

His voice slowly stopped in mid-air, and his gaze into the distance gradually froze in a certain direction outside the tent, and the people of the tribe who were running in that direction also began to show a bit of boiling signs as Duan Qing's gaze fell, and some of the figures who had just appeared there then rushed towards the direction where the patriarch and old man on the other side of the settlement had just disappeared: "It's back!" They're back! ”

"The warriors who went to the Nashi tribe are back!"

***********************************

"The warriors who went to the Nashi have returned, and they have brought back each other's responses."

After some time, inside the camp of the Nasu chief, the large number of tribal warriors and elders who had regathered together reunited resounded in the air above the seats where the Nasu patriarch was seated: "They have agreed to our challenge. ”

"The 'Barish' ceremony will be officially held in three days' time." In the heavy atmosphere around him, his old gaze kept looking around here: "The place is on the banks of the Barrow River, on the dividing line between us and the Nash. ”

"Excellent! That's fair for both of us! Breaking the silence that surrounded the crowd with an uplifting voice, the figure of a stout man named Surtu was the first to rise from his seat: "For the glory of the clan!" We will definitely bring back the final victory! ”

"Don't get excited, Surtu." Slowly pouring out his own cold water, Sutar, who was sitting next to him, warned in a low voice: "The dominant side will agree to such a challenge - they must have something in mind that we can't see." ”

"The 'Barish' ritual itself is a sacred and solemn ceremony, and tribes that dare not accept the challenge of such a ritual will be regarded as cowards by the entire steppe." Showing a disdainful look at the other party, Surtu's disdainful eyes also fell on Sutar on the side: "And if you want to use despicable means in this sacred ritual, you will also be despised and cursed by the entire grassland." ”

"I didn't say they would use any dastardly tactics, but we do know very little about this new neighbor." Sutar's voice rang in the ears of the others without hurrying: "Although I don't doubt the strength of our clan's warriors, if they also raise many bloodthirsty warriors and beasts—"

"It's okay, we have our way too." Raising his hand to interrupt what the middle-aged tribal man was about to say next, the tribal patriarch named Nasuji finally opened his old voice again: "But since the other party has agreed to this sacred duel, then we must also be fully prepared." ”

"Surtu, how is the selection of the Warriors?" His gaze shifted slightly, and he whispered to Surtu on the side, "Have we gathered the strongest warriors in the clan?" ”

"Rest assured, Patriarch, we will select the strongest warriors that exist here to fight." patting his chest, Surtuna's sworn voice then became a little hesitant: "But...... According to the rules, some outsiders who ran for election also became part of the list. ”

"I'm not talking about the guy you just went to meet, I'm talking about another guy." He raised his hand and gestured, and his face was full of unsure of what to do: "Although I'm not sure about-"

"But that guy seems to be an adventurer too."
