It turns out that centaurs eat not only human food, but also horse food. This is a rather delicate matter, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, many people probably can't believe it, and the scene of eating barbecue meat with a human mouth and swallowing forage with the same momentum in the intervals will make even the bold steppe people look sideways, let alone Lothar and Cheese hiding on the outskirts of the crowd. However, thanks to this attractive messenger, the two men returned from the river without attracting anyone's attention. They returned to the shaman's yurt.

"Actually, it's not surprising. Cheese said earnestly, attracting the attention of everyone in the tent, but just when they thought the mage was going to say something serious, he said, "The lower body of a centaur has the same muscle tissue as a horse, so it is possible that there is a whole set of internal organs and circulatory system in the lower half of his body like that of a horse." Otherwise, a human heart alone would not be able to provide the oxygen that drives that body, and I think he has at least two hearts, one for one and one for a horse. So it's not surprising that he has a horse's stomach in his belly. ”

Everyone, including Wu Qi, looked at Cheese with a strange look, and they couldn't quite understand why the gray robe was analyzing the centaur's physiology with a serious face. What if this kind of thing was known? Leaving aside the mage, who was still chattering alone, Lothar noticed that there was no one in the tent.

"Where is Batuu, where has he been?" The noisy boys had been unusually quiet since they entered the tent. As a nomadic herder, Batu has a visceral reverence and reverence for shamans like Wuqi. Not to mention that not every group on the grasslands has the ability to support a shaman, for example, Batu's Antelope tribe is an example, if they are not too weak to survive on their own, they will not choose to ally with the Hammer Collar outside the grassland, let alone send a young guide like Batu.

"He's gone to feed the eagle. Atta replied, a smile on her face. To be fair, she didn't like the boy who saw himself as some kind of cargo at first, but as a child who grew up in the land of fairies, she admired the relationship between Batu and the goshawk named Naren.

Actually, he was overthinking. There are many hares and rats in the vicinity, and the goshawk will not be short of food. The seated shaman spoke from the layers of blankets, equally satisfied with the relationship between Batu and Naren. Especially when he felt that the goshawk had no negative feelings towards Batu, he could know that the boy had not abused his animal companions, and that this man and eagle had a deep brotherly affection. As a substitute for the spirits, Wu Qi was happy to see this, after all, tradition told him that enslaving animals would not be favored by the spirits.

"Then let's put him aside, Wu Qi, what is the wolf lord?" Cheese stopped his speculation about the physiology of centaurs, and turned to ask him the question he was most curious about now.

The shaman was silent for a few seconds, he thought about the implicit message behind the question, the nomad's yurt was not a soundproofed building, even far away from the main area of the clan, he heard the commotion, "Yes, having the centaur as a messenger is indeed in line with the identity of the wolf lord." ”

"Sounds like a big shot, I thought the three divisions of Schaller were independent, but I didn't expect you to have a wolf lord on your head. The mage was a little surprised, because he couldn't imagine that the leader of a small tribe that was controlled by others would have the idea of becoming a single man. This seems to be a complete violation of the relationship of subordination in the logic of the Grey Lion.

"There is no surprise that the steppes never recognize eternal authority, and we have no blue-blooded claim. The rights and status of all tribes speak by strength. It is normal for small tribes to submit to large tribes. Wu Qi understood what Cheese meant, and calmly said the rules of operation on the grassland, "Besides, the wolf lord is not Shanyu, in your words, he is more like the leader of the tribal alliance, and has a certain amount of control over each alliance, but he has no right to meddle in the internal affairs of the clan." However, the wolf lord has not made any moves for many years. ”

Cheese tilted his head, and the leader of the alliance, who had not heard from him for many years, suddenly came with news, which was probably not a good thing. As if to confirm his thoughts, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Batu's already rosy cheeks became more vivid because of running, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the disordered breathing, and then said excitedly, "The wolf lord is dead!"

The wolf lord is dead. Cheese and Lothar and Atalanta looked at each other, and as people outside the land, they didn't understand what it meant. Everybody dies, isn't that a constant truth in the world?

Sure enough, Wu Qi, who was originally half-open, suddenly opened his eyes, his body trembled a few times, as if he was too excited and involved in the pain that had not yet healed, "The wolf master is dead?

"What do you mean, what's bad?" Atta asked nervously, nervously strained by the shaman's state. In contrast, Lothar touched his beard and had an idea.

"I guess. As the co-leader of the nearby tribes, the wolf lord has not given orders for many years, but his own existence is enough to make the various tribes safe. Now that the wolf lord is dead, the tribes are no longer restrained, and the war that has been suppressed for years may break out at any time, right?"

"That's right, but, wait. If the wolf lord is really dead, then even if his tribe doesn't keep the news a secret, he shouldn't have sent obituaries everywhere with great fanfare. Don't they understand that doing so will make the fortune-seekers wait for an opportunity, unless—" Wu Qi's brow furrowed, and he was familiar with the politics of the steppe and sensed that something was wrong.

"Unless they don't intend to give up their rights just like that. The man who spoke stood behind Batuu, and the frightened boy immediately went into the yurt. And he walked in with him, none other than Uvel, the head of the Charle Division. The head man with broad shoulders was sinking at this time, "The messenger not only brought an obituary, but he also brought an invitation. Invite the heads of the various ministries to the funeral of the wolf lord. ”

As he spoke, he shook the iron card in his hand, iron tools are undoubtedly precious in the grassland, in addition to being used as weapons, tokens are also another major use of iron.

Wu Qi nodded after hearing this, "I see. Then I understand. ”
