"Uh, so this person is your adopted daughter?"

Standing in place and confronting the man in front of him who was unwilling to reveal his name and identity for a while, Duan Qing finally plucked out a part of the clearer information from the other party's mouth, he stared at the man who still didn't look very impatient for a while, and finally spit out his somewhat surprised words: "She also came here from the outside?" ”

"I don't know." The tribal man's voice was still indifferent, but there was a pause in his voice: "How do I know where she came from, and where she wants to come from, it has nothing to do with me anyway." ”

"Listening to the full name you just mentioned, this woman doesn't seem like a tribesman from the grasslands." Raising his chin, Duan Qing involuntarily repeated the name he had just heard: "Nadi Brünnhilde Cynthia - what a name from which you can find countless possibilities and symbols." ”

"Hmph." Contrary to Duan Qing's expectations, the man's cold snort and displeasure became more obvious: "Naxia...... If it weren't for the elders' questioning......"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Without hearing the lower and lower muttering voice, Duan Qing leaned closer to his head and asked, and the tribal man who had noticed and woken up then also closed his mouth in an indifferent response, as if he was not going to continue talking about this topic: "What else is the problem?" If you don't have one, just leave. ”

"Well, it looks like there's a lot going on." Still staring at the man for a long time, Duan Qing finally exhaled and slowly retracted his gaze: "But being able to get this name is already a great help...... Let's move on to the next question, can you tell us more details about your daughter's disappearance, ah, no, the woman's disappearance? ”

"Details of the disappearance? Ha. Let out an even more disdainful sneer, the man looked back at Duan Qing's face with an increasingly strange gaze: "You actually ask me such a question?" Didn't the elders tell you? ”

"Ugh." As if sensing something wrong, Duan Qing shrank his head: "When we took over this task from the elders, we really didn't receive any more detailed descriptions and details......

"Foreigners don't ask too much about things that have nothing to do with you, it won't help you in any way." Only the tribal man, whose head was exposed outside the tent, replied with hostility: "If you don't want to die too quickly, go back honestly." ”

"After all, this is our next task, even if it is for our own sign, we will continue to investigate." Duan Qing replied without hesitation: "But since you don't want to tell us this, then we will also respect your choice, so-"

"Is there any more suspicious information about this mission?" He spread his hands at the other party and made a helpless move: "There is no detailed information, and there is no situation and process of disappearance, so we should always tell us some direction to find it." ”

“……”

As if falling into silence, the tribal man lowered his head and didn't say a word, and the bustling crowd around Duan Qing became more and more as time passed, and the attention salutes that were passed from time to time also made Duan Qing, who was waiting in place, feel more and more uncomfortable: "Well, if there are really no clues to provide, then I'll go first." ”

"Apollon." Suddenly three words were spoken, and the tribal man wrapped in the tent curtain replied with a blank face: "Get out." ”

"Apollon?" Repeating these three words, the expression on Duan Qing's face became even more confused: "What is that?" First name? Toponym? Or - oops. ”

"Forget it." Looking at the sight of the man disappearing into the tent, the gray-robed magician finally put away the hand he wanted to stretch out: "I'd better go and inquire myself." ”

"Such a strange situation made me a little bit interested."

His gaze extended along the crowd towards the tents and the depths of the settlement, Duan Qing slowly converged the light in his eyes into his own steps forward, and the gray figure also merged with the other Hulun people around him who were wearing the same gray-white tribal costumes as the sun rose, as if he had turned into the same member of the surrounding settlement that was noisy and hawking. The tops of the white tents reflecting the sunlight also spread out on both sides of the road with the splash of bustling atmosphere, and the green grass that should have been located here was also much sparse because of the countless people walking back and forth, and they gradually disappeared into open space and wilderness as more and more people walked, and at the same time, a huge tent appeared here in a particularly clear contrast: "Is this the Apollon?" ”

"The center of the Hulun settlement is also the high-level residence where many elders of the Hulun tribe gather."

With a slight sigh, Duan Qing, who had already come here, looked up at the dome of the huge tent in front of him: "Really, even the command center is built so conspicuously, for fear that others will not know about ......it."

Swish.

Then two bright spears flashed in front of his eyes, and the sharp eyes of the two Hulun tribe warriors who stopped his footsteps stared at him: "The front is a heavy land, where are the people from, go back quickly." ”

"I have something I want to visit." Without the slightest sense of surprise, Duan Qing, who raised his hands and posed innocently, asked tentatively, "I have a mission...... Well, there's something I want to consult, but I wonder if any of the elders here can answer me? Anyone can—"

"Elder?" The eyes that were staring at him changed a little suspiciously, and one of the guards interrupted Duan Qing's voice: "What elder? Are we the elders of our people? Which elder lives here? How did I not know? ”

There was another awkward silence under the big eyes, and Duan Qing's eyes looking ahead began to slowly move to the body of the clan warrior who was speaking: "Huh? No elders live here? Isn't this Apollon? The settlement of the elders of the Hulun tribe? ”

"Many elders live here, but that's also around here." Pointing to the tops of the numerous small white tents that surrounded the huge tents, the soldier replied as a matter of course: "For the convenience of the discussion, the elders of the clan have since moved their dwellings closer to the vicinity of Apollon, but no one has ever said that they will move directly into this place, and no one will do so in the future. ”

"So this place is just a council chamber?" Opening his mouth, Duan Qing's gaze involuntarily crossed the barrier formed by the intertwining of the two spears again: "It's so magnificent, but there is no one inside?" ”

"Magnificent? What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Unable to understand what the adventurer was saying, the other of the two guards replied at the top of his voice, "You want to say that this place is huge, don't you?" Do you think we deliberately made this place like this? ”

"Do you have any other reason for making it so conspicuous?"

"Don't continue to show your ignorance here, foreigner." Finally starting to get a little impatient, the tribal warrior with his spear raised warned in a low voice, "We have used such a large tent, and it has cost us so much wealth and hard work—"

"Because it's only that big, of course."

Being driven into the distance by the pair of spears, Duan Qing, who almost clashed, had no choice but to look back at the outskirts of the unapproachable huge tent, and the figures of the same guards as these warriors also appeared around the huge tent with the extension of his vision, which made the gray-robed magician take back his original desire to find fault: "Calm down, calm down, in this situation, even if you really sneak in, it will be difficult to walk back unharmed." ”

"But there's still useful information." He pursed his lips tightly, and only after a while did he mingle with the Hulun tribesmen who passed nearby in another hesitant footstep: "—What? Is this a warehouse? ”

"The warehouse may not be accurate." The ordinary clansman who was questioned by Duan Qing raised his chin with his chin: "But there are indeed many, many things stored here, and there are many, many people who often come and go in it, pulling huge trucks and carriages or something......"

"Warehouse? No, no, no, it's not a warehouse. Another tribal woman who was held by Duan Qing shook her head and replied, "Although many people have been in and out of that warehouse, I have seen the situation in it, and there is a huge building in it, the kind that is bigger than the tents I have ever seen in my life......"

"There's a huge divine blade stored in here!" This was the excited words shouted at him by a young boy from the tribe who was caught by Duan Qing: "A weapon made by the adults of our clan with all their strength!" Very, very huge weapons that can destroy the world! Only the first warrior of our clan can use it! Just hold it in your hand and bang it, and all the grass on the prairie will be cut off! ”

"Then if that's the case, someone will definitely come and steal this divine blade." After a long time of inquiry, there seemed to be a little sign of a breakthrough, and Duan Qing, who was squatting down, looked at the tribal boy's face with a smile: "Did someone come here two days ago?" ”

"Who would dare to steal this weapon? I'm going to kick his head like a ball! The immature face put on a fierce look, and the little boy's voice that had learned from his elders was then relieved in the next moment: "But it seems that I did hear that someone broke into here two days ago, and I haven't found ...... until now."

"Oh? Who is that person? Isn't it amazing? ”

"I haven't met that person, I've just heard from others." The look of regret on his face became more obvious, and the little boy replied in disappointment, "I just listened to others, listened to others...... She's a beautiful big sister. ”

"Then I'm more interested." The light in his eyes flashed, and Duan Qing continued to ask quietly, "What's her name?" ”

"She's called a badass!" Compared with a posture of shooting arrows with a bow, the little boy said with a righteous face: "I heard that she killed a lot of clansmen that day, my father and the fathers of other children are chasing her, as long as she catches her, she can be punished justly!" ”

"I see, he's a badass." Finally understood the general direction of the task in his hand, and Duan Qingtao's words seducing the little boy also had a bit of a sigh in his voice: "Then do you know where this villain has gone?" Big brother wants to catch the bad guys, too. ”

"Uncle wants to arrest her too? No way. Using another title that could make Duan Qing's forehead bruise, the little boy shook his hand with disdain: "You don't look strong at all, it's far worse than all the warriors I've seen, how can you catch her?" ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried? Big brother, I was also appreciated by the elders of the clan. Duan Qingpi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Look at this scroll that records the missing person notice - this mission to capture the villains, and Hu Mobei's name is written underneath, does Hu Mobei recognize it?" Seeing that you are so small, you must not know each other, right? ”

"When, of course I know!" Sure enough, his words caused a great backlash from the little boy, but the bulging cry was clearly filled with a feeling of lack of energy: "But I don't know where the villain has gone, she has been gone since she ran out of this place that day." ”

After coercing and seducing for a while, Duan Qing, who couldn't get more information, finally let go of the tribal boy, and then he stood up with a wry smile after being dumped with grass clippings and dirt, and looked at the direction he finally asked from the other party: "Ran this way?" ”

"In other words, this missing person revelation is actually a wanted warrant, but Hu Mob didn't write about it?" Speaking to himself, Duan Qing, who was holding his chin, looked back and forth between the depths of the road in that direction and the huge tent in front of him: "What happened to make these elders and soldiers of the Hulun clan keep their mouths shut one after another, but secretly want to arrest people back?" ”

"Except for the rumors like children, the other ordinary people here also seem to know nothing." He recalled the information provided by other people he had asked, and the depth in his eyes began to look heavier: "The news is blocked very deeply, and the 'father' at the beginning is also tight-lipped and unwilling to say anything...... It seems that some kind of bigger secret is involved. ”

"Suspicious, so suspicious." Constantly combing through all the information he knew so far, the gray-robed magician's gaze involuntarily began to move: "It's like-"

"It's as suspicious as that carriage."

He flapped his hands, and his attention fell on a wagon that was slowly departing in that direction as it emerged from the huge tent.
