Chapter 279: Paid
"Great Patriarch, you're back!" The person who greeted him crossed his hands and touched his shoulders, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head to greet Huo Lan Xinyan as he walked down the sand boat.
If you look closely, you can also find that these people have nervous faces, the news of the attack on the Great Patriarch has come back, and if they want to be held responsible, none of them in charge of the port work can escape the relationship.
"Alright, let's all disperse! I still have things to attend to, and I don't have time to nag you here. Huo Lan Xinyan walked down the sand boat in a hurry, and said impatiently.
Judging by her expression, it seems that she has quite an opinion about these people.
An Xu couldn't help but look sideways, and when she returned to the clan, Huo Lan Xinyan was like a different person, completely different from her previous straightforward and open-minded personality.
"Come with me, I'll arrange a place for you to rest, it's late today, I'll talk about something else tomorrow!" Huo Lan Xinyan walked straight up the stairs with An Xu, ignoring the people who were kneeling on the ground.
It wasn't until she walked up the stairs that Huo Lan Xinyan slowed down, walked side by side with An Xu, and her face also returned to her previous expression, and said helplessly: "Let you laugh, some guys probably hope that I can't come back, my human nature is like this, in front of them, I really don't want to give them a good face!" ”
An Xu's expression did not move, it seems that this Huolan tribe is also intricate inside.
An Xu had considered it before, how could a great patriarch like Huolan Xinyan have an accident that the sand boat he was riding on when he went out was not enough energy crystals? If it was an accident, even An Xu didn't believe it.
I'm afraid that this sand boat has already been secretly manipulated.
Unexpectedly, Huo Lan Xinyan already knew it in her heart, but she never mentioned it, let alone that she was willing to mention these things to An Xu, an outsider.
But when it came out of her mouth, it was like a child being angry.
An Xu didn't have any intention of asking in detail, anyway, he got paid, and then let Noel figure out the power source of the sand boat, and then he would leave, what does this Huolan tribe have to do with some of the fights?
Seeing that An Xu's interest was mediocre, Huo Lan Xinyan cleverly changed the topic, and the group quickly climbed to the top of the stairs and entered the city, which has a long history from some architectural point of view.
It was night, and there were no pedestrians in sight, so they climbed the stairs and entered a tunnel, which was guarded by tribal warriors at regular intervals, and it was clear that this was not a place for ordinary people to enter and exit at will.
After walking for more than ten minutes, when they saw the sky again, they had appeared on the other side of the mountain, with a deep valley in front of them, and Huo Lan Xinyan's residence was in a large building on this cliff face.
After arranging a place for An Xu and them, Huo Lan Xinyan left, as if to deal with this attack, An Xu also felt a little tired, and directly hugged the Soul Sword and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, a tribal girl knocked on An Xu's door.
"Hello, the Great Patriarch invites you to join us for breakfast!"
"Okay, wait a minute!" An Xu put away his equipment casually, then stored it in the storage space, and went out in casual clothes.
In such a large settlement, there are almost no dangerous creatures, but you don't have to cover yourself in the armor, although the weight is not cared about, but you will definitely feel uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time.
The girl walked with An Xu, secretly glancing at An Xu from time to time, and the patriarch said that this was a distinguished guest, his clothes were so strange, and his skin was very fair, which was very different from the tribesmen.
Huo Lan Xinyan had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw An Xu, her eyes lit up, and she beckoned: "Come and sit down, I'll be waiting for you!" ”
The room is not big, it should be a relatively casual place, and even Huo Lan Xinyan did not arrange guards, only a few maids stood aside, Doudou came earlier than An Xu, and at this time he was already destroying the food in front of him.
"Eat a big meal early in the morning, and I'm not afraid that my body can't stand it?" An Xu smiled and casually found a place to sit down.
"It's not like this every day, you were all injured this time in order to save us from trouble, and I specially replenished your qi and blood!" Huo Lan Xinyan propped herself on the edge of the table, looking curiously at An Xu's gray shirt, silk is also an unfamiliar material in the 100,000 mountains.
An Xu ate some things, most of the ingredients he didn't know, small tribes like the Hanshan tribe, most of the food came from hunting, and in the Huolan tribe, planned farming and animal husbandry had already begun.
"Where's Knor?" An Xu didn't see Noor's figure, and asked Doudou on the side.
"I've been studying the information of Shazhou last night, and I slept too late, I guess I can't get up!"
As he spoke, a tribal warrior walked in carrying a pocket, and then put the pocket in front of An Xu, the pocket was very heavy, and he didn't know what it contained.
Huo Lan Xinyan stretched out her hand and gestured, "This is your reward." ”
An Xu opened the bag, and there was a momentary fluctuation in his eyes, good guy, it was full of demon cores, of which there were more second-order and third-order demon cores, and a small number of fourth-order and fifth-order demon cores.
Roughly counting, there are dozens of them, and a second-order demon core can be worth dozens of gold coins in Hidden Moon City.
This pocket alone is an incalculable wealth, worthy of the supreme clan, and it is so generous that An Xu sighs that this mission is too worthwhile.
"Thank you, we are satisfied!" An Xu unceremoniously accepted the bag of demon cores, originally he was going to ask for some rare materials, but the demon cores were also valuable.
After Irulian's reminder, An Xu had already understood that the demon core was a very precious reserve material.
"That's great, to be honest, I don't know what you need, and I'm afraid you won't need it, so I'll just give you this, because it seems that you also have this kind of thing over there!"
Huo Lan Xinyan said with a sigh of relief when she saw An Xu accept the demon core.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, where did you collect these energy crystals?" An Xu said curiously, it seemed that there were very few demon beasts in the desert.
"Don't you know?" Huo Lan Xinyan was surprised: "The more the 100,000 mountains go out, the easier it is to encounter powerful beasts, and if you kill them, you can sometimes get this ability crystal. ”
An Xu suddenly realized that these 100,000 mountains were so vast, thinking that it was not only human activities, but also a large number of demon beasts, but he ignored this.
"By the way, I have to warn you in advance, because you saved me, the tribe will hold a banquet at noon, which is not a big deal, but there may be some nasty people at the banquet, you can just ignore them when the time comes, and leave the rest to me!" Huo Lan Xinyan suddenly said with a straight face.
An Xu frowned and asked, "Do I have to participate?" ”
Huolan Xinyan has just succeeded as the patriarch, presumably she has not completely controlled the entire clan, with such a big force, intrigue is inevitable, and she and the others will definitely be regarded as people from her camp if they are invited by Huolan Xinyan.
The factional dispute itself will be especially sensitive to external forces, and An Xu doesn't want to get involved in the battle of the Huolan clan, so he wants to avoid this banquet in the first place.
"Sorry, it's our tradition, if you don't participate, those people will hold on tighter, and it will be more troublesome for you! Don't worry, they don't dare to make too much trouble with me, at most it's just an eyesore! Huo Lan Xinyan said apologetically.
"Okay, I got it!" An Xu responded.
Follow the customs of the locals, and they naturally have to follow some of their customs in the territory of the Huolan tribe, because their strength has not yet reached the point of completely ignoring the rules.
It's a big deal that when the time comes, I'll only eat, and I'll be deaf to everything else, and if there's really any special trouble, then I'll have to leave with the team.
Ann thought like this!
