Chapter 26: Aparaye
During the day, the sun shone on everyone's bodies, warm. Lei Kai was surprised to find that he didn't know when he fell asleep, and he was still covered with a blanket. Vaughn had already prepared breakfast for everyone—not Miss Red Dragon's, of course, her appetite was too great.
"Hurry, hurry." After eating breakfast, Lei Kai waved his hand and headed towards the Stonetalon Mountains.
The Stonetalon Mountains, as the name suggests, are a mountain range in their entirety, and there is no road carved out here like the Stonetalon Mountains in the game, but only winding mountain roads.
"Hey, there's a lot of people there?" It was almost noon, and the sharp-eyed Madant was surprised to find that there was actually some faint cooking smoke in a small valley.
"Check it out." Lei Kai pondered for a moment and said, anyway, walking the mountain road is a sinful thing for Alanqia, so Lei Kai received him into his own beast space early, and now the few people present are not big targets, and they can go quietly without alarming those residents.
"Black Bull?" To everyone's surprise, this was actually a gathering place for some black-haired minotaurs, and there were about two hundred of them, so everyone turned their attention to Vaughn.
"Ah, it's Uncle Aparaye." Vaughn spotted an acquaintance and ran out of hiding and ran towards him.
"Ah, it's little Vaughn, how do you have time to come here?" The identity was discovered by an adult minotaur, who was completely black, his muscles tense, and he looked at the young minotaur running in surprise.
"Haha, Uncle Aparaye, I'm out on an adventure." Vaughn said with a smile.
"Adventure?" Aparaya was even more surprised, "Your mother is relieved that you are going out to take risks?" ”
"Didn't you escape!" Vaughn scratched his head embarrassedly, "By the way, I still have a partner!" So Lei Kai and the others had to show up and stand up.
"Hello, Aparaye? Darkhoof's greetings. Black Bull was obviously a little surprised that so many people suddenly appeared, "Thank you for taking care of Vaughan. ”
"Hah, it should be." Lei Kai said with a smile.
"He has some hostility towards us." Terry whispered from the side.
"yes, I don't feel it." Despite being dead and reborn once, Dashley still has no heart and no lungs.
"Hostility?" Lei Kai frowned.
……
At Aparaye's beckoning, the group arrived at Aparaye's residence, a house that looked like an ordinary minotaur house from the outside, but the facilities inside were very simple, except for the necessary daily necessities, there was no decoration.
"Uncle Aparaye, why are you staying here?" Vaughn looked at the humble surroundings and asked, "Thunder Cliff is much more prosperous than here. ”
"Little Vaughn, you'll know when you're older. The residence is just a place to stay for a while, what do you want to do with such luxury. "And we have an important mission here." ”
"What mission?" Lei Kai interjected.
"We're here to stop the centaurs from entering the barren lands." Aparaya glanced at Lei Kai lightly and said softly.
"But now the centaurs of the Barrens have become a plague, and they are oppressing Thunder Bluff." Lei Kai said.
"What? That's impossible! Aparalaye slapped the table and stood up, "We never let a centaur go!" ”
"Maybe they've found another way." Lei Kai said lightly, "But now, the centaurs have been suppressed by the combination of the Minotaur and the Boar Man. Why, you don't communicate with Thunder Bluff here? Don't know this kind of news? ”
"I'm sorry, but since the mission is relatively hidden, we are all in one-line contact with Thunder Cliff." After learning that Thunder Bluff was now unharmed, Aparaya sat down again and resumed his previous faint tone.
One-line contact? You think you're making a spy movie! Suddenly, Lei Kai seemed to think of something: "Who are you in contact with on Thunder Cliff?" Sorry, just curious, but I've also lived in Thunder Bluff for a while. Looking at Appalaye's already somewhat hostile eyes, Rekai explained again.
"My mother. You won't know her, she doesn't have much contact with other living people in Thunder Bluff. Come on, serve the food. Aparaye brought up the topic, but Rakei's eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Vaughn, what's going on with this guy?" During the banquet, Lei Kai asked Vaughn softly.
"Uncle Aparaye, you say? He is the son of his grandmother. Vaughn, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, replied vaguely, "Uncle Aparaye, what kind of meat is this?" It's numb, it's so fragrant. ”
"This dish is made with the tail of a thunder lizard unique to the Stonetalon Mountains, and the meat contains some thunder and lightning elements in it, so you feel a little numb when you eat it. This is a great tonic food, and it has a condensing effect on the flesh of our warriors. Aparaya explained.
"It's better to eat this thing than to drink." Madant, on the other hand, was not very interested in meat.
"I'd love to have two more ......," Tyrée looked at her empty plate and touched her still-shriveled belly.
"I said you have to be careful, don't let people find out who you really are! How can an elf eat like you? Muttering in a low voice, Lei Kai bit down the piece of meat in his hand, but was surprised to find that this thing actually made his aura a little more, which also made him decide to get a few more thunder lizards to eat in a while, but he still didn't forget the topic just now, he turned to Vaughn again, "Who are you talking about grandmother?" ”
"Grandmother is grandmother." Vaughn eats a lot, although this thing only works on the flesh of a warrior, it can't stop Vaughn from being an alien hunter, and this thing actually works for him.
"I'm asking for my grandmother's name!" Lei Kai's head was full of black lines, and he felt that he was on the verge of going berserk.
"Grandmother's name? We all called her grandmother, and we almost forgot her name. Vaughn slowed down the movement of his hand and thought carefully, "It seems to be called Magatha?" ”
Like a thunderbolt, Lei Kai's whole person was stunned, grandmother Magasa, how can people not think of that frightening name - the elder old woman Magassa Horror Totem! A terrorist who single-handedly caused a split within the Minotaur and indirectly killed Kane!
"What's wrong with you?" Tyre noticed Rekai's strangeness and nudged him.
"Nothing!" Lei Kai quickly put away his mind, maybe I thought too much, the current Magatha may not be the horror totem. But a shadow was planted in my heart. So Rekai had no choice but to bury his head and learn from Vaughn and Dashley to concentrate on destroying the meat in front of him—it was still useful to him anyway.
