On March 1, 796 of the new calendar, the well-organized convoy finally began to set off with the regrouping of the remnants of the Nasu tribe, and the mighty procession began to connect the front and back of the vast grassland due to the increase in personnel, and drew a thick and obvious line of ink on the emerald green land. The members of the Qingling Adventure Group, who were also mixed in with this team, also became much smaller at this time, and their steps that had already decided to go with them were dragged to the back of the team, and they had just passed between the earthen wall and the bricks that they had built: "As a result, this temporary camp we built was not built in the end." โ
"No need to do it, we don't need it now anyway."
Answering Gedmayne's subsequent sigh, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the bottom plate of a carriage, smiled a little bitterly: "The migration of tribes is a common thing, and this is also the characteristic of nomads, so the existence of mercenaries like us can only follow the customs of the villagers and learn their living habits." โ
"Anyway, when the wind comes, everything we've done before will be meaningless, won't it?" Speaking of this, the gray-robed magician also withdrew his gaze from between the fragments of the destroyed bricks: "According to the power that Surtu once described, it is impossible for our level of mastery to survive the tide. โ
"It's a pity that we have worked so hard to get these fruits of labor." So Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was sitting next to him, also sighed: "But since this is the survival mode that should only exist on this side of the Wind Continent, then let's reluctantly accept it." โ
"Doesn't that mean that even buildings should survive as long as there are Wind Stones?" Suddenly raised such a question, and Asahi Dongsheng, who was walking on the other side of the convoy, then turned his eyes to Duan Qing's direction: "Our tofu scum project shouldn't be so miserable, right?" โ
"You're too high on my magical abilities! The Wind Stone's range of effect is only a few meters away, and its effect cannot be expanded by using a magic circle as I had imagined before. Shaking his head unwillingly, Duan Qing's angry reply became low again: "And those half-hung magic circles that I designed were destroyed in the previous battle. โ
"Speaking of which, it does seem like there are several gaps blown up there." Looking at the ruined camp on the outskirts of the Nassu clan that was getting farther and farther away, Gedmayne stretched out his head slowly: "Did the Nashi do it before?" โ
"Unfortunately, it was our Ms. Fra who did it." The one who answered him was the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who was wiping his short sword and round shield: "In the battle that day, someone ran into our camp because of the collapse of the Ice Ring, and Fura who was waiting in that place should have cleared these trespassers at that time, and blew up our outer wall by the way." โ
"Speaking of which, where did that Fura guy go again?" It seemed that he had just remembered this more important question, and Duan Qing, who was shaking the medicine bottle in his hand, raised his head and looked around: "She won't be left behind, right?" โ
"Don't forget what happened when we were caught in the Sioux tribe." Pressing the corner of his forehead, Xue Lingphantom Bing reminded the other party in a deep voice: "Don't worry, she must have her own way to catch up." โ
"Having such a helper with us always gives us a little relief." So Duan Qing also smiled a little helplessly: "As long as she doesn't have any opinions, it's not good for us to say anything about her casual actions at this moment." โ
"Then again, didn't you promise to heal her dragon-breaking wound?" Glancing at the potion bottle in Duan Qing's hand, Xue Ling Phantom Ice asked inexplicably, "How is the research going?" โ
"Tell me quietly, and you must not tell anyone." Duan Qing, who looked left and right mysteriously, beckoned the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice to his ear, pointed to his arms: "I also told her about this before, and I wanted to ask for her advice and help, but her actions almost scared me." โ
"She just gave me something." Without wanting to sell Guan Zi, he took out the crystal glass tube from the robe on his chest and shook it in front of Xue Ling's eyes for a moment: "Did you see it?" Surprised? Isn't it amazing? โ
"That's ...... Dragon's blood? โ
The golden yellow crystal brilliance flashed under Xue Ling's eyes, and at the same time, her voice trembled involuntarily: "She would actually give you this kind of thing?" โ
"You've seen how powerful our Miss Fura really is, and if she hadn't been willing, how could I have gotten something like this from her?" Nodding his head, Duan Qingshen's mysterious face became more serious: "So when she gave me this, even I was shocked, although I made the test tube or something on the spot, but you can't imagine how trembling my hands were when I took this drop of blood......
"Less nonsense." Stretched out his hand to look at the other party's shoulder, but Xue Ling's voice was also suppressed a little: "If you want to blow it, you will blow it later-how about this thing?" Will it cure her curse? โ
"According to herself, the effect of breaking the dragon is very likely to be reflected in her blood." Putting away his half-joking expression, Duan Qing's face then became a little more solemn: "But everyone has been fighting to the death for a while, and the time to study this thing is still too little, and without the assistance of any tools at hand, what I can see doesn't seem to be helpful to the lifting of the curse......"
"So what do you see? It can't be nothing, right? โ
"Of course not! How could I let go of such a good opportunity! Although it is difficult to extract, and I don't know what the side effects and consequences of extracting it will be, you can never imagine how many levels of magical energy I measured in this drop of blood-"
"What magical energy?"
The sudden voice then interjected into the conversation between the two men, and frightened the man and woman who were talking in their ears almost jumped, and they hurriedly looked back in the direction of the comer, and then shouted resentfully in the action of their respective strengths: "You, you dead old man! Can you not pretend to be a ghost? โ
"Seeing that you two are discussing so deeply, how dare I disturb you loudly?" Approaching Duan Qing and the others with a smile, the old man named Lu Fen straightened up his bent waist with his hands behind his back: "So I can only approach in this quiet way." โ
"No, no, nothing." So Duan Qing resolutely denied it: "We haven't talked about anything, so don't expect to find out any information." โ
"Anyway, it's a story with the woman who used to be so powerful in the Sioux tribe, isn't it?" Holding his hands behind his back to maintain a harmless appearance, Lu Fen's voice became more and more innocent: "I thought that the relationship between us should be good enough, but it turned out that you still hid such important information from me, which really made me very sad as an old man." โ
"When are we going to be on good terms?" Slanting his eyes at the other party's face, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was the first to speak, then also put on a cold and hard expression: "We are just companions now, fellow travelers who travel with the Su tribe, and now we are just sitting here to borrow the carriage of your caravan for a little rest, you don't want to be sentimental." โ
"Ouch, listen to these words of this adventurer lady - my heart hurts even more." Covering his eyes with the back of his hand, the old man Lu Fen put on a look of raising his head and crying: "Don't you even consider the friendship of that kid who is a hundred steps?" โ
"A hundred steps are a hundred steps, you are you. The relationship between the two of you doesn't seem to be as good as you imagined. Duan Qing, who also put on a look of disdain, hugged his arms and then looked behind the old man: "What about others?" โ
"Go to the front to exchange information with the Surtu patriarch, after all, the situation of our caravan also needs to be known by that person." Not caring about the ridicule in the other party's words, the old man Lu Fin shook his head slowly: "Hey, I really don't know what you people think, you don't recognize such a big name as the Lu Fin Chamber of Commerce, you have to trust my unscrupulous apprentice......"
"We are now companions who have lived and died together, can we compare to anything else?" Tapping his chest, Duan Qing said to the old man with a proud face: "Surtu must be based on the same reason, so he will trust Baibu Wushuang more, but he was born and died in the previous Barish ceremony, and almost buried his life in the hands of the enemy." โ
"Well, I'll have to please that kid a little bit later." Waving his hand indifferently, the old man Lu Fin who was talking to himself suddenly approached as if he had just remembered something: "That's right! He had mentioned an elixir, the kind that healed his serious injuries in an instant! Do you still have such a thing? Show me the old fellowโ"
"Go away!" Stretched out his hand to turn the old man away, and the first to interrupt the other party's Xue Lingphantom Ice stopped with a look of anger: "No! That's the last bottle! There will never be any more in the future! Do you understand? โ
"Uh...... Got it. โ
The last sentence, the white-haired woman seemed to shout at Duan Qing, and the latter then took a step back with a wry smile, and then spread her hands to the old man with an innocent face: "For the sake of your and my life, I think it's better for us not to continue talking about this topic...... By the way, what is the state of the fleet now? โ
"Don't look at the tragic sacrifice of the Sioux, there is no problem on our side of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce."
Putting away the curiosity on his face, Lu Fen, who stepped back, helped the carriage and replied in a low voice: "Whether it is the hundred steps Wushuang who went to pay the omission or you, I will say so, anyway, the survival of the Sioux has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to fight for their lives, right?" โ
"The fact that you can come to the ancestral hall to help us at the last moment is already the greatest kindness." Nodding his head in agreement, Duan Qing's voice also became much lower: "Although I think a lot of this is because you want to save the hundred steps......
"That stinky boy, it really gave me a lot of trouble." The old man Lu Fen, who sharpened his teeth and did not deny it, replied with a look of hatred: "As a result, that kid still doesn't listen to me, and thinks about going out and risking the limelight every day...... Hum! Sooner or later, his life will be buried at someone's hands. โ
"Don't worry about this, at least he won't die." Touching his nose and lowering his head, Duan Qing, who buried his embarrassed look, then moved aside this topic that only players knew: "But...... Is it also a suggestion to follow the Nasu people to migrate this time? โ
"No, that's what our caravan meant." As if to mention something pleasant, the old man Luffin's face once again squeezed out a satisfied smile: "Surtu-oh no, the great Nasu patriarch has already negotiated with us, as long as we can help them complete their tribal journey and find another suitable place to live, they will reward our chamber of commerce with 100,000 gold coins, and half of the remaining cattle, sheep and horses of the Sioux tribe!" โ
"Sounds like a huge fortune." A feeling of compassion flashed in his eyes for a moment, and Duan Qing pouted and replied, "But I still think that you are definitely the one who suffers in this transaction." โ
"You, what did you say? You look down on my old Luffin! You, uh...... Why do you say that? โ
"Did Surtu tell us which direction we're going to go next?"
"I've heard some of these Nasu people talk about it before."
It was the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that answered Duan Qing's question out loud, and the sparkling waves that appeared from time to time as she pointed to the right front direction where the entire team was marching: "It seems that they plan to move forward along the dividing line between the grassland and the seashore first, and find a suitable foothold somewhere in the south. โ
"We're really going south all the way now." Nodding his head, Duan Qing also noticed the sound of the waves that appeared at that time: "But why walk along the seaside?" โ
"At first I thought that Surtu had some idea, but ...... He should just be able to get away from the depths of the steppe. The voice paused for a moment, and the tone of Xue Ling's explanation became low again: "This is not only because there are several tribal forces in the direction of the grassland in front of you, but-"
"I've heard that the next wave is coming."
