The Minotaur Captain walked over to Diego and sat down. He poked his head out and nodded to Pubal, who was sitting on the other side of the human.

"What's going on, Dezko?" Diego asked in a low voice, picking up a handful of cold water from the basin next to him and patting it on his forehead to make himself more sober.

"I went to see Kane? Bloodhoof, the great chief of all the Minotaurs, and told him about what happened in the goblin cave and the elevator, and he was also very angry and decided to expel the Goblin Ventures from Mogore completely. ”

"That's a good thing, why are you angry?" Diego asked, puzzled.

"But the problems within the minotaurs have not been solved, and this is the crux of the matter!" Dezko said angrily. Looking at the two men in a daze, he suddenly realized that Diego and Pubal didn't know the exact content of that information. He took the parchment from his bag and handed it over—since the chief himself did not care about the letter, there was no need for him to keep it a secret.

Diego took the parchment and read it a second time as if he hadn't read it.

"Kane returned the letter to me, believing that it didn't mention who it was, and that blind chasing after the wind would only cause a split among the Minotaurs. But who else could the 'old woman of the Terror Totem Clan' be besides Magatha? Dezko said indignantly, "I bet that the fact that Mogoray has a vein of blood rock must have been revealed to the goblins by that old woman!" ”

"What's even stricter is this sentence, you see here-'Agree to the request of the old woman of the terrifying totem clan', what is the request?" Diego pointed to a line on the parchment and said, although in his previous life, against Kane? Bloodhoof's conspiracy would not be launched until a few years later, but it now appears that Magassa has already begun her layout. "The most important thing we should do now is to figure this out first."

He handed the parchment to Princess Pobal, who read it by the light of the campfire. But her face also became solemn as she read.

"I know the Great Chief of Bloodhoof is a gentle and decent chief, but this time, I must say, he is too gullible to trust a woman who is not worthy of trust." After reading the parchment. She handed it back to Dezko, worried.

"Yes, although no one can deny the strength of the Magatha, but among the Minotaurs. She didn't have a good reputation, and no one wanted her to say a word except the people of her own tribe. Dezko added.

"Perhaps you can persuade the chief to change his mind, Princess," Diego said expectantly. "He will surely be willing to listen to your advice."

"No, Diego, my friend, my position is not as important as you think, for the Minotaurs are not a single tribe, but of Bloodhoof, Starchaser, Cloudhoof, Winterhoof, Thunderhorn, Fury Totem, Rune Totem, and Terror Totem...... There are more than twenty tribes, large and small, and I am only the daughter of the chief of one of them. ”

"But in the eyes of a certain minotaur, your position is more important than you think," Dezko interjected with a sudden smile, the smile on his face looking meaningful. But the minotaur princess's face suddenly appeared with a shyness. That expression Diego had seen countless times from the faces of human girls in love. Although the creature in front of him had a completely different face from a human, Diego found himself able to judge every expression it expressed.

"Oh, who's that?" Diego asked with interest.

"Hey, Dezko!" Pubal angrily stopped, but she didn't succeed.

"Bane? Bloody Hoof! A lucky young minotaur," Dezko said with a laugh, "a lucky one who is the envy of almost the entire young man of Thunder Bluff. ”

In fact, Diego is no stranger to the name, he is the Great Minotaur Chief Kane? Son of Bloodhoof, a brave but equally intelligent young minotaur.

"Bane might not believe me. He always has his own ideas," said Pubal, a little embarrassed, and like any girl in love, she didn't want her lover to think she was taking advantage of him. "And he's helping his father take care of Bloodhoof Village, and he's not in Thunder Bluff right now."

"No, he's here, Perris said he saw him back in the morning, and maybe he'll come to you later." Dezko said from the side. In Thunder Bluff, there are too many enthusiastic friends to provide him with news. In fact, Bane? Bloodhoof himself is one of his best friends.

"Give it a try, Pubal, we can only see you now, maybe Bane will listen to you, after all, this letter reveals a conspiracy, a conspiracy against his father." "If you don't get permission, it's hard for Dezko to investigate this matter, even if it's secret." ”

"Well, I'll try to talk to him, Dezko, give me that piece of parchment, Bane might want to see it then." Princess Pubal made a difficult decision, she knew that this matter was very important, it was related to the safety of the entire Minotaur, and her sense of responsibility for her own race made her agree without hesitation.

Diego didn't say anything more, as an outsider, he preferred that the Minotaur would dig up the conspirators hiding behind the scenes to stop the catastrophe that would happen in the future, rather than having him lead the process.

Several people fell silent, worried about the conspiracy behind the scenes, and the bonfire shone on their faces, as heavy as their hearts were at the moment.

The feast - for everyone else, but not for the worried Diego trio - lasted until late in the evening, and when everyone had gone home, Diego was placed in a tent reserved for the guests.

The brazier in the tent was blazing, and the tent was warm. This is necessary because of the special location of Thunder Bluff, and the nights here can be just as cold even in the hot summer months. In the corner of the tent, a small smoker smelled faintly of tranquilizing flowers. Next to the brazier was a thick bear skin, covered with a blanket woven from soft wool. For thousands of years, the nomadic minotaurs have lived their daily lives on these fur beasts. Diego lay drunkenly on the bearskin, and soon fell asleep and fell into a deep sleep.

Half-asleep, he heard that there were minotaur guards patrolling back and forth in the open space outside the tent, was that Kane? Bloodhoof's Special Dispatch - In the eyes of the Minotaur chieftain, although Diego was visiting in a private capacity and had no intention of meeting with the human, the safety of the guests had to be ensured, especially after the elevator assassination.

Thunder Bluff will never refuse to visit with friendship and peace. (To be continued.) )
