1717 Backstage
"The position around the divine envoy is naturally a position that everyone now covets."
In the early morning of January 13, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, the edge of the vast Zhuang clan settlement camp gradually gathered a large number of tribal dignitaries who looked gorgeously dressed and decorated, and the young man in the lead wearing a huge flower ornament and a blue and black robe then also bowed slightly, and the gold and silver products tied to the headdress also kept making a clanging sound in front of Duan Qing: "Since my people and I now have this opportunity to contact this position, Then we will not let it go easily. ”
"The nobles' territory is huge, bigger than the tribes I've seen along the way." Spreading his hands to the left and right, Duan Qing gestured to the settlement behind the young man who was talking, "The floating tower owned by the Divine Envoy Lord behind us is definitely incomparable in terms of area. “
"That's what it means 'limited space,' right?" The young man shook his head and brought a tinkling silver bell-like voice: "It's already our luck to be able to meet such a miraculous being, and I've heard about the negotiations between you from Miri. ”
"You seem to want to decide who to get on board this way, don't you?"
Looking at Duan Qing's face with inexplicable eyes, the young clansman with a group of elders and Kong Wu warriors held up his white long sword as if he was an afterthought: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the patriarch of the Zhuang clan, Yalahasori Zhuang Ranbamu, just call me Yaci." ”
"Your tribe has strange names—ah no, I may not be qualified to say that." Glancing quietly at the Tatar clansmen who were not far behind him, Duan Qing replied with a wry smile: "Anyway, along the way, I have encountered a lot of strange names, and names like Surtu are already normal. ”
"Surtu...... I still have some impressions of the name. The young patriarch who called himself Ya Xi raised his chin: "It's the guy from the Nasu tribe who once called himself the king of the North, the one who is as young as me." ”
"When I met him, I predicted that guy would be as young and promising as I was." A smile appeared on his face full of youthful vitality, and Yaxi's eyes showed a little indifferent remembrance: "As a result, he is now the head of a clan like me...... Oh, God really likes to fool people. ”
"Why, you know Surtu well?"
"No, not very familiar."
Shaking his head to answer Duan Qing's natural question, Ya Xi smiled and shook his head: "It's just a one-sided relationship, but it's ...... The attraction between us young people is very strong, and you should know that, right? ”
"Of course, I'm also a young man." Tilting his head, Duan Qing quietly classified himself into the category of successful people: "In terms of mutual advice, I think we still have a lot to talk about. ”
"Hahahaha! I agree too! With a burst of laughter, Ya Xi shook up his blue-black robe a little: "Those old fellows who follow the rules have been in control for too long! This is not a good thing for the future development of our tribes on the grassland, if the final election of the Sacred Mountain is a group of old men, I think the gods will make them cry, right? ”
"Naturally, the Divine Envoy had the same idea—she needed more people who could do the work." Duan Qing nodded his head as if agreeing: "Her floating island needs a lot of helpers now, so ......"
"So are we qualified?"
Spreading his hands, the patriarch named Ya Xi gestured to Duan Qing in a natural voice and tone, "Can we become a member of the island in our own way?" ”
“…… I don't know. The smile on Duan Qing's face also converged in an instant: "Everything will not be finalized until the final result comes out." ”
"And what about the cooperation between us?"
"We have our chips, and you have the strength you deserve—you see, that's the bargaining chips we need to negotiate and trade, isn't it?" Spreading his hands to show his helplessness, the gray-robed magician responded to the other party with an indifferent expression: "If you think that the chips in this transaction are not the same, then we can start somewhere else." ”
"I already know very well what your envoy and the divine envoy mean." Nodding his head, the young patriarch named Ya Ci gradually retracted his smile on his face: "But with all due respect, I and the elders of the clan behind me still haven't seen that the Lord and the Divine Envoy can come up with a relative equivalent, or ...... There is no sincerity in the deal. ”
"The patriarch thinks we're waiting for a price, doesn't he?" Stopping the two of them who were vaguely stepping forward behind him, Xue Lingphantom Ice and Whispering Liuyu, Duan Qing smiled indifferently: "Or do you think we are white wolves with empty gloves?" Tsk, I wonder if when the Mi Sect reported to you before the lead, did you carefully describe our performance at the edge of the Central Prairie? ”
"Stopping the thousands of troops of the beast tide with the power of one person - I have to say that this is indeed a skill that even I have to sigh for." Clapping his hands, the young patriarch of the Zhuang clan replied with a smile: "But since you are an adventurer, you must also know very well that to do something breathtaking, sometimes you don't even need to spend a few extra fingers to do it. ”
"Patriarch, is this suspicious of us?"
"Doubt is too heavy a word, and we dare not be disrespectful to the Divine Envoy."
Arching his hands in the direction of the southeast, there was also an inexplicable deep meaning in Yaxi's voice: "It's just that as the head of a clan, you need to be careful in both the way you do things and the way you act, and I just describe what the leader of my clan has seen before, and express my limited reasonable suspicion about what you and your companions have done before. ”
"Surely we would not have had such a narrow mind because of this level of skepticism to identify us as opponents—with the wisdom and virtue of God's masters."
The confrontation that gradually became obvious between the two figures each leading the hands of the people, and the air flowing between the figures on these two sides also began to become tense, and Duan Qing, who had a little light in his eyes, just wanted to use sharper words to counter the other party's words, but the silence that diffused between the two people was interrupted by a loud laugh from a distance next to him: "Hahahahaha!" Is this the little calculation you've been having, Yari? ”
“…… It's you. ”
seemed to know the identity of the person who came, and the voice belonging to Yaci also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "Let me introduce to the envoy, this is—"
"Needless to say, I'm Yagorence Kirzareh, the patriarch of the Yagoryn clan."
The tall and strong body was accompanied by the same broad head, accompanied by short hair that flew up like leaves, and eyes like copper bells, and then grinned in the direction of Duan Qing and Yaxi: "I heard that a divine envoy fell from the sky, so I ran over to take a look." ”
"You are the patriarch of the Agoron?" After looking up and down at the wild and uninhibited appearance of the man in front of him for a while, Duan Qing made his voice after a while: "Why are you the only one?" ”
"What's wrong with a person?" With a look of incomprehension on his face, the man who called himself Agorence then loosened his muscles that were knotted around his cheeks a little: "Just leave the affairs of the clan to those elders!" How to deal with your tribes and how to deal with the oracles is something they think! I just came here to satisfy my curiosity! ”
"Why, which of you is an oracle?"
In the wry laughter that Duan Qing on the opposite side involuntarily let out, the strong man who stepped forward looked back and forth at Duan Qing and the two women behind him for a long time, and finally turned his head suddenly: "Or Ya Ci, you guy, hid people early?" You sinister bastard—"
"The Divine Envoy has never officially arrived here, you iron pimple head." With a smile on his face, he drove away the strong man who wanted to rush forward, and Yaxi's voice also slowly sounded in the whistling wind waved by Argorons: "These people in front of you are all messengers of the divine envoy, and they claim to have been sent down by the divine envoy to inquire about the situation first, so-"
"Hey, I'm not going to be as scheming as you are."
Waving his big fan-like hand at the other party, the strong man who called himself Yagorence then also put on an expression of disdain for the other party: "A person like you who climbed to the position of the patriarch by calculation and intrigue originally lacked sufficient strength and security, so even if you already believe ten percent in your heart, you will squeeze out one percent as a bargaining price." ”
"Hmph, it's like you Yagoron would easily trust everyone else." didn't care about the other party's imminent threat, and Yaxi's young face also carried a bit of indifferent mockery: "Don't forget the last selection ceremony, how you treated the Molan clan in the end." ”
"Oh, that's because we have a discerning eye." Shaking his head with disdain, Yagorens, who had straightened up again, then showed an indifferent smile: "Intelligence, temptation, analysis, trade-off...... We don't rely on that, we just need to look at it, like-"
"This girl in front of her looks like a master."
The tiger's footsteps retreated with the rotation of his heavy body, and the strong man's gaze shifted from Xue Lingbing to the body of the whisper: "And this girl...... Ha, it seems to be a slender body, but there is a huge amount of power hidden inside. ”
"If you are the messengers sent by the gods, I can believe it." Nodding his head, the man then also looked in front of Duan Qing, who was protected by the second daughter in the middle: "As for you, you don't have the power to perceive it at all...... You shouldn't be like this lean jerky like Yaxi, right? ”
"How is that possible? I'm also very strong. After facing this vicious face expressionlessly for a moment, Duan Qing turned to grin and put on a strong and powerful posture: "If you have the chance, I will definitely show you your hands." ”
"yes, that's really exciting." Shaking his head and exhaling a fierce breath, Yagorence gradually withdrew the grin that came out of his mouth, "But—"
"It's really boring, the real oracle is really not here."
Casually glancing at the inside of the Tatar clan behind Duan Qing, the strong man sighed with a disappointed expression: "I don't have any special strength, but I have been alive to go to such a deep position in the central grassland-I have to feel ashamed for you Zhuang clan guys." ”
"I don't care about the disrespect in your words, you're the way you are, anyway." Shaking his head, Ya Ci, who was holding his hands behind his back, showed a smile the next moment: "But your words confirm my previous thoughts—these people standing in front of us do have a bit of false possibility, don't they?" ”
"Ha, don't expect to pull me to Yagorens' side, it's impossible for me to be on your side." Stretching out his thick finger to point at Yaci's face, Yagorence retorted indifferently, "You want to use me and the tribe behind me as a bow and arrow? Be careful, I'll put my fist in your mouth right now. ”
"Oh? That's a pity, and if you're not going to agree with me, then you might be in vain. The smile on Masa's face became more and more obvious: "Because the messenger of the divine envoy in front of me really doesn't seem to plan to prove his identity in other ways." ”
"It seems that you two are not going to let me go?"
The seemingly opposing positions were finally aimed at Duan Qing's body in unison, and the gray-robed magician who was touching his nose then let out a low chuckle, and his falling gaze also kept looking back and forth on the back of his flipped palm: "You plan to stick to the prestige and position of a big clan to the end?" ”
"Ha, so you're really one of you?" The answer to Duan Qing was a cold snort from the first son of Yagorens: "He looks as powerless as Yaxi, and even his style is like him!" How can you stand before us? ”
"That's why."
With a long sigh, Duan Qing finally let go of the flat look he had been maintaining, and then the raised hands also carried his adventurer's manual and raised them to his lowered gaze: "Of course, it's the backstage." ”
"My backstage is bigger."
He grinned as he pointed to a small black dot that was gradually emerging at the far end of the horizon behind him.
