"I understand the concerns of the Taliana patriarch."

The darkness of the night was much brighter because of the illumination of various torches, and even the monsoon wind that blew through this place seemed to fade a little because of the gathering of torches and people, Duan Qing, who was fixed on the female patriarch in front of him, then touched his nose and smiled, and turned to look at the grassland tribesmen who were still gathering: "The front of the wind tunnel is the territory of the Central Grassland Tribe, and entering that place is equivalent to declaring war on them, so-"

"With me and my people, it's no different than sending me to death." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, the eyebrows on the matriarch's face became much more obvious because of the inverted upside up at this moment: "It's not enough to even plug the teeth of a big clan." ”

"That's right, even if we add a few of us." Duan Qing bent down again towards the other party: "But what about the divine envoy behind us?" She represents the sacred mountain. ”

"As I said earlier, just because my people believe in you doesn't mean I believe in you too." Shaking her head, the woman named Taryana responded to Duan Qing with an indifferent expression: "Adamu may be able to sense the imminent threat, but if it is in the name of the Divine Mountain as a guarantee, I will start to doubt." ”

"After all, the relationship between the Divine Mountain and the Beast Tide has become ambiguous since a long time ago."

She maintained a quiet and dignified appearance, but the words she said made Duan Qing's eyebrows jump a little again: "That's right, the threat of the beast has passed for so long in the history of the grassland in the past, but the divine mountain has never proposed any means to deal with it, this is not like what a guardian on the continent should be." ”

"Some people speculate that this is a strategy of the Sacred Mountain, while others think that they are inherently powerless." Taryana's voice grew slower, "That's why our people never want to survive on the edge of the continent, and no one knows when we'll be sacrificed to those beasts. ”

"I can't guarantee what the attitude of the divine mountain is, but I can guarantee the attitude of the divine envoy." Duan Qing replied with a solemn face: "My teammates and I have been entrusted with trying to rescue the scattered tribes who have not had time to escape along the way, and try to save as many lives as possible. ”

"The Sioux? Are they also on the side of your angels? Duan Qing's answer caused Taliyana to look strange: "That King of the North? ”

"This is the first time I've heard this inexplicable name."

The earthen boat behind him was accommodating the last personnel, and the noise and carrying sound that kept coming from that direction began to gradually subside, Duan Qing, who had put away his gaze, then sighed with a wry smile, and the doubts that flashed in his eyes began to become more and more intense: "No matter how strong that tribe was in the past, they are now just a group of ordinary tribes who share our suffering, and they are also victims of the Hulun incident, and they are also currently under the protection of the divine envoys." ”

"Since you have accepted the protection of the divine envoy, you are naturally on this side of the sacred mountain." Taryana shook her head in a low voice, "We don't necessarily have to accept the same fate. ”

"This should be what the patriarch and several elders of the clan are most worried about." Looking at the matriarch and the figures of the old men behind her who were faintly visible in the night, Duan Qing also showed his smile again: "Please rest assured that our Divine Envoy is not what you imagined, she is very ...... Well, an independent person. ”

"She has been secretly observing the people's feelings in the Hulun tribe for so many years, and she already has some thoughts of her own in her heart."

Saying this, the smile on the gray-robed magician's face became more and more confident: "The main purpose of the Divine Envoy is to bring these steppe people under her protection to live in a more peaceful and safe area, and her and our course of conduct has been changing in accordance with this purpose for some time. ”

"Please understand this point, the patriarch."

He nodded, looking back at Taryana's face with a calm and expectant look, who still maintained a dignified appearance and folded his hands together, and after a long time said his next sentence: "Listen to your companions, you rescued a tribe before. ”

"Is it from the Klan tribe?"

She leaned to the side and gestured to the depths of the night behind her, which was equally dark and deep, "How are they now?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know how many of them are left now." Duan Qing shook his head with regret on his face: "They were picked up by some of my other companions, and when they were picked up by teleportation magic, we were still wandering around with a large number of beast tide vanguard troops." ”

“…… Well, I trust you guys. Keeping her eyes level, moving up and down a little with the gesture of nodding, Taryana replied in a soothing voice, "For the sake of the Klan, I can trust your purpose now, but-"

The unfinished words stopped in mid-air, and the matriarch seemed to sense the strangeness caused by the silence that suddenly became audible, and Duan Qing, who was also aware of this strangeness, then also looked into the depths of the dark night in the direction indicated before, staring closely at the edge of the sea of grass: "...... Here it comes. ”

"Please get on board as soon as possible." He spread his right hand and said in the direction of the earthen ship surrounded by demonic light, "Don't hesitate any longer, we'll talk about it later, how about it?" ”

"Dama."

——————

Nodding to one of the strong-looking guys behind her, Taliyana commanded in a low voice, and several of the Tatar clansmen who had been stranded here at the end of the day also led the matriarch through where Duan Qing was, and disappeared into the outline of the earthy ship. Pointing out his thumb at Adamu, who had also disappeared in that direction, Duan Qing then condensed his gaze towards the depths of the dark night sky in the southwest direction of the abandoned clan settlement, and the black shadow that appeared in it was also accompanied by the thin red double dots that appeared in it, and quickly approached their location: "Ready to go!" ”

"Anchor!"

He grabbed the position of the ship's side with one hand, and injected a trace of magical energy that appeared between his fingers into the surface of the earthy ship, and then the shaking sensation was accompanied by a floating and rising air current, and the gray-robed magician attached to the edge of the ship opened the distance from the ground: "I hope there won't be a problem like falling apart...... Silence! ”

"Yes." A murmuring response then appeared in the earthen boat, and she was surrounded by a group of tribesmen in the center of her line of sight, and then she also stretched out her hand to the magic disc in front of her: "The magic output has increased, and it has reached a critical point - is the direction controlled?" ”

"Of course." The answer to this sentence was the snow spirit phantom ice standing in front of the earthen boat, and the two white hands that were clutching the edge of the ship's side also clenched the two magic control rods connected there at this time: "Let's go." ”

"Heading east."

Rumble!

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

The light of dawn appeared on the edge of the sea of grass as the sky gradually brightened, and the sky with the morning glow began to replace the original dark night sky, and a huge earththen boat also crossed the dark red of the morning glow on the grass at this time, and at the same time threw more and more green grass behind him - after a period of scramble and adaptation, the earthen boat temporarily made by Duan Qing was finally on the right track with the help of the joint efforts of the two people, Whispering Liuyu and Xue Lingphantom Ice, The shadow of the hovercraft that was constantly trembling and shaking also floated forward smoothly and quickly on the endless grassland as the three of them adjusted their busy adjustments.

After a busy night with the Tatars, several people were also in a deep state of exhaustion at this time, but they still had to shoulder the task of advancing and guarding the beast tide that they could see looming behind them through the brightening sky.

"Is the supply of magical energy stable? I don't have much of a gem left. ”

"I still have a few pieces here, which I brought with me when I set off from the Free Continent before, and I originally planned to find an opportunity to sell the inventory, so I'll give it to you to squander."

"Thanks, but it's still a drop in the bucket."

"By the way, how the hell did you design it to look like this? The magic disc is an ancient item that can support the magic structure of an entire city, why does it become so expensive when it comes to you? ”

"Probably because of the magic skeleton I designed."

With a heavy breath, Duan Qing pointed to the feet of the three people who were gathering together to discuss: "After all, the materials are limited, and I can only rely on the power of magic to temporarily support the entire hull, the earth boat you see now is like a creation connected with wooden planks and soil, but in fact, it is the magical energy that is connected and intertwined with dozens of runes that are responsible for supporting." ”

"If Violet had seen this, she would probably have scolded me for my poor magic design and rough magic workmanship." Speaking of this, Duan Qing stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead: "There are also those energy jets scattered around the hull in order to adjust the direction and accelerate and decelerate...... Alas, at my current level, I have done my best to achieve this level. ”

"Don't say that, your design is already great." Reaching out and patting Duan Qing's shoulder, Xue Lingphantom Ice replied comfortingly: "At least the direction control problem we encountered when we came here before has been solved, and the hull of the ship is much more stable than before, but it is ......"

"If we can't solve the energy problem, we're going to break down at some point." Looking around at the Tatar tribesmen who had fallen asleep, he said the next words instead: "It will be really troublesome then." ”

"Now that we've come to this point, we're naturally going to be responsible for it to the end."

Forcibly lifting his spirits, Duan Qing stretched out his hand to block the gaze of the whispering streamers: "This group of people is now our first batch of crew, and their presence is indispensable if we want to continue to develop our forces. ”

"In the worst-case scenario, they will also become one of our fighting forces." The gray-robed magician waved his arm vigorously, but his voice was involuntarily lowered: "It's also a testament to what we use to convince others—don't forget that even the matriarch didn't believe us a little before." ”

"That's because your charisma and personal reputation are too low, and the two of us didn't have to go to talk to that matriarch so hard." Yu Liuyu replied with a disdainful face: "The next time this situation occurs, it is better for us two women to be in charge." ”

"Okay, if there really is a negotiation situation." Duan Qing pursed his lips helplessly: "As for our current crisis...... I'll slow down a little bit for a while to ensure our endurance first. ”

"You should also take this opportunity to take a good rest, and you will have to be busy next."

The simple exchange of countermeasures gradually stopped with a few words of discussion between each other, and the three of them disappeared in turn towards the bow and stern of the ship they were responsible for, and Duan Qing, who remained in place to guard the energy center, then also checked the operation of the disc, and then took out the magic communication stone from his arms: "Hey, hey? Did you wake up? ”

"The next time I wake me up in this way, I'll put the scheduled 'Magical Transfiguration Experiment' on the agenda for the day." Naxia's languid voice then sounded from the other end of the Communication Stone, "Although...... Hmm, is it already early morning on the 11th? After holding on for so long, it seems that your survival skills have become a little stronger. ”

"It's just that we continue to be opportunistic by playing on the spot before." Looking around at the hull of the ship, which was still falling with a slight bump, Duan Qing pouted and replied, "And we're on the verge of running out of ammunition and food—when will you be able to pull out to pick us up?" ”

"The front line of the beast tide has crossed a long distance on the floating island, and it takes more than just magical energy to completely erase the gap caused by this distance." Naxia's voice replied indifferently, "What's more...... You should be in the Central Prairie by now, right? ”

"Got it, you still ask?"

"I know, I know, my lovely apprentice is finally in a dilemma."

A chuckle appeared on the other side of the magic communication stone, as if to clearly outline Nahia's teasing expression at this time: "Why aren't we like this now, the Hulun clan is still chasing after us, so-"

"To change the situation, we need something bolder."

The chuckling paused slightly, and the voice that belonged to Nahia reappeared also carried a bit of mystery: "This is also the fundamental reason and ultimate purpose of forcibly letting you act as the 'Frontier Dredging and Communication Wrecker Squad'." ”

"Do you know how?"
