"The King of the North? What's that? ”

Some time later, at the edge of the riverside, a man named Duan Qing looked at Surtu who was walking towards him with a surprised gaze and look: "When did you have such a strange name?" ”

"We have a lot of names, but they were all from a long time ago." Shaking his head slightly, Surtu, who was standing in the crowd, still showed the appearance of a busy man at this time: "Since it is a matter of the past, there is no point in mentioning them now." ”

"Really? But I don't think that's what these people in front of me think. Duan Qing turned his head with his chin: "This feeling...... Should it be fear? Or is it awe? ”

"It's just a burden." After pausing for a moment as he had been directing the people around him to pass by in the vicinity, Surtu sighed and turned his head: "Just like now, this name will only have a negative impact on the trust between our two clans. ”

"That...... Uh, what's it called? ”

Raising his wrist, Duan Qing, who was about to say something just now, then scratched his head with a dry smile, and then the look of wanting to wait for an answer also received an expected response, accompanied by the face of the tribal warrior in leather armor who had been standing behind Duan Qing, but at this time showed a dull color: "Wabu tribe." ”

"Ah yes, Wabu, Wabu." Repeating the name, Duan Qing, who blinked his eyes vigorously, then turned his gaze to Surtu on the side: "You see, people can be regarded as coming with sincerity, the previous so-called conflicts are all misunderstandings, we don't care about it ourselves, we don't care at all." ”

"We don't mean to be hostile." Pushing aside another Nasu warrior who was reporting to him, Surtu, who turned around, then showed his solemn face to the leather-armored warrior: "Since you are also temporarily stationed nearby, then we can find each other's camps and no longer invade each other." ”

"yes, that's good." Rolling his eyes, the leather warrior who called himself Wabu who had been waiting for a long time also turned around with a disdainful expression: "Since there is no need, then there is nothing to say, let's leave it at that." ”

"Wait, wait."

The smile on his face became even more embarrassing, and Duan Qing, who hurriedly stopped the warrior from leaving, then also walked forward quickly and grabbed the arm of the warrior who wanted to leave: "We haven't even started talking, why did we give up so quickly?" This one- uh. ”

"Vabas! How many times do you have to say it before you remember it! ”

"Ah, yes, Vabas, Vabath." With a standard apology on his face, the smile shown by Duan Qing, who nodded at the angry other party, became a little more obvious: "Warrior Vabasi, meeting is fate, since everyone is the same outcast, don't you and your clan have any willingness to cooperate?" ”

"Nope." Breaking free of Duan Qing's hand and looking back at the gray-robed magician with slanted eyes, Vabas replied in a deep voice, "Even if there is, this kind of matter is not up to me, but decided by the patriarch and the elders of the clan. ”

"If you want to talk about cooperation, you better go to them and talk to them."

He waved his hand, and the expression hidden in the distant figure gradually disappeared, and Duan Qing, who was standing in place, gradually lowered his shoulders, and his expression, which originally looked extremely energetic, was replaced with a helpless expression: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to become like this." ”

"Don't blame yourself, they won't cooperate with us anyway, even if you don't do something like this." Again commanding the huge tribal migration procession in front of him, Surtu replied casually, "The wandering tribes of the steppe are all wounded lone wolves, and they will never trust any other of their kind who come near until they have licked their wounds." ”

"There are probably only two lone wolves in this grassland who have the opportunity to get close to each other." Shaking his head, Duan Qing then let out his own sigh: "I thought that we would have the opportunity to get closer to each other after avoiding biting each other, but I didn't expect it to be a little difficult to achieve in the end." ”

"Forget it, at least it's not the people of the Nashi or Nake tribes, and they don't show any hostility towards us." Raising his arms and looking at the Wab people who were still coiling around the edge of the river, the gray-robed magician pouted and continued, "But they still seem to be wary of us...... Could it be because of the 'King of the North'? ”

"Even if he is a person who has reached the central grassland, the so-called 'king of the north' naturally does not play a role." He was answered by Surtu's increasingly deep voice, and after a while a low murmur: "But—Wab? The name sounds like a native of the area. ”

"You can hear that, too?" So Duan Qing glared at his eyes again: "What do you mean by the local natives?" ”

"The tribes that start with the word 'tile' are generally local indigenous beings." Glancing at Duan Qing slightly, Surtu finally answered the other party's question: "Unlike those of us who later migrated here, they are people who have lived here since ancient times, so they inherited the name 'Wa'. ”

"Like the people around you all use the word 'that'?" Duan Qing, who was a little surprised, pointed at Surtu's face: "Those people of the Nashi tribe, as well as the people of the Nake tribe, are all outsiders in this area like you?" ”

"The North, to be exact." Surtu replied in a low voice, "We were all born from the northern part of the Wind Continent, and we came here for a variety of reasons. ”

"No wonder the Wab people are hostile when they see you." So Duan Qing had no choice but to cover his forehead: "If it were me, I wouldn't trust you lone wolves in the north." ”

"It's understandable that we became lone wolves, after all, we have always fought for our territory in unfamiliar regions and environments, and we may lose it at any time." Shaking his head, Surtu's gaze fell back to the edge of the river in front of him: "But if it's a Wab, the situation will be different. ”

"Indeed, since they are local tribes, their territory should be stronger." Frowning his brows, Duan Qing also refocused his gaze on those aliens in the distance: "Why did you become a wandering team?" ”

"I don't know, and we're not going to ask." Putting away the look on his face, Surtu's voice then disappeared between the steps he left: "Unless they have anything else on their minds, otherwise—"

"The intersection between our two clans is best done here."

Waving his hand in an invisible direction, the current patriarch of the Nasu tribe then slowly departed with his men towards the edge of the river in the distance, and the ever-converging procession also seemed to maintain a tactful refusal, and circled the edge of the safe distance from the Wab who were also packing up. Looking at this amazing sight with a wry smile, the expression on the face of the player in the gray magic robe gradually disappeared, and he fell into silence and then showed his stiff face between frowning and silent, and was soon broken by the sigh of another white-haired woman who came forward behind him: "Sure enough, I'm still too anxious?" ”

"yes." Putting away the complicated look on his face, Duan Qing glanced at the side face of Xue Ling Phantom Bing, who was also looking forward: "Originally, I wanted to pull the people on both sides to remedy it a little, but it seems that this kind of historical legacy problem cannot be simply remedied." ”

"You, you always want to look at this side and that side." Stretching out his hand and pulling the other party's body, Xue Lingphantom Ice pulled his voice closer: "It's not a good thing to be too greedy, be careful that both ends will not be worth the loss in the end." ”

"How can this be called greed, this is just the last vestiges of kindness I have." Saying such chilling words, the entanglement in Duan Qing's eyebrows gradually dissolved: "Well, since we can't get the best of both worlds, let's pursue one of the results first-how is the camp talking?" ”

"The Wab people have agreed to give us the lower reaches of the Pero River, and they are moving a little bit upstream." Pointing to the other side of the wide river not far away, Xue Lingbing continued in a low voice, "And for the safety of each other, they specifically pointed out that we should go to the south bank of the river. ”

"The river is very wide, and it won't be easy for all of us to cross it." Duan Qing, who had made a slight visual inspection, then replied in a low voice: "The matter of the camp will definitely be delayed for a while, so leave it alone." ”

"Put the search on the agenda first? We're going to be here for a while anyway. Xue Lingphantasm tilted her head to the side: "As long as there is no conflict and fighting, we have enough suitable opportunities, but-"

"I'll warn you that there's not much hope for that." She took a deep breath, and then put her serious face back on Duan Qing on the side: "If you still can't find anyone in the end......

"I know."

Stretching out his hand to stop what the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing pursed his lips and lowered his head: "But always do your best, that little guy has already suffered too much in the past time, I don't want her to continue to bear it." ”

"Really? But why don't I usually see it? Slanting his eyes at Duan Qing's face, Xue Ling's eyes were full of contempt: "If I didn't know your identity and past experiences, I would have thought you were deliberately ignoring the existence of that little girl." ”

"After all, there is something special about her appearance, even if there is really a problem with the rising sun, in order to maintain our fragile team, I still have to take care of some fairness." Sighing and saying such words, Duan Qing then shook his head as if he had woken up: "But after your reminder, I also seem to feel that this contradiction cannot be perfectly reconciled...... Well, if I can get her back, I'll talk to her again. ”

"Don't say such things, it will give people a bad premonition." Reaching out to cover the gray-robed magician's mouth, Xue Lingphantom Ice muttered in a low voice: "If there is anything you want to say, leave it to Mengzhu in the end, now without further ado, it is best for us to divide up and start searching along the surrounding area of the Wind Ruins." ”

"You don't need it in the north, unless that guy is really caught by the Nashi people." Glancing back in the direction he had come, Duan Qing then muttered to himself: "As for the other directions - considering the impact of the storm, the most likely one should be the west, but we can't run into the sea to catch people, so we can't do much other than pray that she won't drown...... Ah! Why are you twisting me? ”

"There is no half-confession attitude in the mouth! Just now, I twisted it for Mengzhu! Shaking the fingers in his hand, Xue Lingphantom replied angrily, "Give me a little serious!" Think in a good direction! ”

"The storms on the Continent of the Wind are different from the sandstorms we imagined, and the visibility in these storms is still very high." Hurriedly blocking the white-haired woman's hand that opened her teeth and claws again, Duan Qing smiled and continued to answer: "So if Mengzhu is really swept into the sea, then the people of the Su tribe should find out about her, so this result can be ruled out now." ”

"Then the rest is the South and the East." Slightly relieved, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had hugged her arms, then turned her sharp gaze to the mouth of the river where she was: "The east is the other side of the Wind Ruins, that is, the hinterland of the Nake clan, unless there are other human factors, it is not very likely that she will fall in the opposite direction in that storm." ”

"South."

Pointing to the surface of the wide river in front of the other party, Duan Qing continued as a matter of course: "This is also the only coupling point why we and Surtu have been able to get to the present together, and the location of the ruins hidden on the map is precisely to meet the goal that that guy has been secretly looking forward to—yes." ”

"Is the location of that ruin determined now?"

His voice paused for a moment, and then, as if he had just remembered the question, he pointed to the far end of the river where countless Nasu and Wab clansmen had crossed and disappeared: "The next point of origin marked by the previous ancient disk—"

"That place called the Varro Ruins."
