Chapter 364 [Wonderful]
"Shh Hearing He Ping suddenly speak loudly, the old man hurriedly stopped, and He Ping immediately realized that there was something wrong with him, the two of them looked around sneakily, and found that although there were some half-orcs around, no one paid attention to them at this time, and it was not close to them, so no one heard He Ping's voice, and the two of them were relieved to see this.
Orcs and elves attach great importance to tradition, elves attach great importance to tradition because elves have passed a period of rapid development and are now moving forward steadily, so elves need to look back at history from time to time, and orcs value tradition because they have not yet reached a period of rapid development, and now is the period when they attach the most importance to tradition and respect it the most, and any practice that violates tradition will be regarded as deviant.
Therefore, the chief of a tribe turned out to be a shaman, not the most powerful warrior in the tribe, this kind of thing can be discussed in private, if it is spread, it will really tear the skin, of course the orcs are not stupid, although their civilization level is not high, but at least they are also a creature that gave birth to civilization, with their own language and writing, and their own culture, so even if everyone knows about some things, it can only be regarded as an open secret.
The chief of the Flame Demon Tribe is likely to be a shaman, this kind of thing is already known even to the ordinary half-orc old man in front of He Ping, so how can the wise men and leaders of those higher-status tribes be kept in the dark, even if this old man lives in a marginal settlement, and he is not young, he went out for a while when he was young, and he knows a lot of people, but in the end, he is just an ordinary person among the half-orcs.
No matter how well-informed he is, it is impossible to compare to the chiefs of various tribes who are responsible for collecting intelligence and have great strength, as well as shamans, that is to say, this matter is actually not a secret among the high-level of the various orc tribes in this area, but even if they know this, the various orc tribes have not united to deal with the fire demon tribe, they know very well the pros and cons of doing so, but if it is made public, there will be no way to undo it.
If this matter is known to too many orcs, under the pressure of public opinion, the various orc tribes can only concentrate on dealing with the fire demon tribe, and the fire demon tribe will certainly not be captured, and then it will be a big war, and at that time, whether it is the fire demon tribe or other tribes dealing with the fire demon tribe, the first thing to deal with is not each other, but the initiator of spreading the news, which is why the old man is so careful.
"Is this true or false? How much credibility is there? ”
"This is the information I got from my old friend, his previous tribe was defeated by the Fire Demon Tribe, and then annexed, and as a warrior, and a veteran, he was also taken by the Fire Demon tribe for his own use, so he is now a warrior of the Fire Demon Tribe, and knows some of the internal situation of the Fire Demon Tribe, although he has not seen this with his own eyes, but he has been in the Fire Demon tribe for a while, so the credibility should not be low, I estimate that there should be seventy or eighty percent."
"Seventy or eighty!" Seventy or eighty percent is basically certain, it is indeed a bit unbelievable that such a strange tribe of orcs who value tradition appears, although the high-level leaders of other tribes pretend not to know, but what is the reason for the fire demon tribe itself to let a shaman wizard act as a chieftain, instead of choosing the most powerful warrior? He Ping couldn't think of the answer to this question clearly, but he quickly thought of another question: "By the way, what does the coat of arms of this Flame Demon Tribe look like, have you ever seen it?" ”
"Heraldry? I've seen it, I've seen it The old man said: "We are here on the edge of the Black Falcon tribe, not far from the territory of other tribes, occasionally see convoys, caravans or troops of other tribes passing by, once before I saw a convoy marked with a coat of arms that I have never seen passing by, because I was curious I also inquired, only to know that it is the coat of arms of the fire demon tribe, the coat of arms on the convoy is a skull with horns and fangs, and there is fire in the eye socket of the skull. ”
A horned toothed skull with flames in the eye sockets! He Ping's heart moved, and he actually found the clue of the mysterious tribe here, ignoring the old man's self-talk about the kind of skull that he had not seen before, what was the skull of what it was, He Ping began to think about the next action, the Fire Demon Tribe, not to mention that this tribe is very strange, just the fact that there are many shamans and wizards in this tribe makes He Ping have the urge to go and investigate.
"Master Freud." Seeing that He Ping no longer spoke, the old man called out under He Ping's pseudonym here, and then continued: "You are a wandering wizard now, you should want to join a certain tribe, right?" Although I am a member of the Black Fastrel Tribe, to be honest, there are not many shamans in our Black Fastrel Tribe, and my status can only be regarded as average, while although there are many shamans in the Blood Axe Tribe, that tribe is too big for outsiders to mix, and the Fire Demon Tribe has not been established long ago, and it will not refuse outsiders, plus they have many shamans there and their status is also higher, so I advise you to go to the Fire Demon Tribe to have a look. ”
"Huh? Yes! That's right, anyway, I'm definitely going to find a tribe to join, naturally it has a higher status, and it's more conducive to good cultivation. He Pinggang thought that if he had the opportunity, he must go to the Flame Demon Tribe to have a look, on the one hand, to see what effect this tribe had on the previous incident of the half-orc alliance attacking the Meliane Forest, and on the other hand, to see how their alchemists worked, and as a result, the old man gave him a very good excuse.
Because conflicts between the various tribes of the orcs are still very common, there will be a big war at every turn, and once a tribe is wiped out, the survivors of that tribe have only three ways to go, one is to be absorbed and annexed by the tribe that defeated them, the second is to join other orc tribes, and the third is to leave here and wander elsewhere, therefore, there are many orc wanderers in the areas where the orc tribes are more concentrated.
Among these wanderers, they have a little strength, for example, in the previous tribes, they were warriors, even war lords, or shamans, of course, they can also be craftsmen and the like, these people can choose to join the tribes in this area, but because the wanderers are from other areas with more orc tribes, they are all regarded as outsiders, and the treatment is naturally not very good, so there are some wanderers who are unwilling to join these tribes, but choose to gather alone. Establish a life, and then absorb other ordinary wanderers who have no special skills and combat effectiveness.
He Ping's previous plan was originally to pretend to be a complete wanderer, not to go to any tribe, so that the degree of freedom would be higher, and there would be no need to be angry with those tribesmen, after all, for outsiders, the local orcs are not very polite, maybe for an alien shaman, ordinary orcs and warriors will not be stupid to provoke, but the war lords and shamans of this tribe are not so good, even if they can get in, it is still a little difficult to get enough information.
But now, the old man's words reminded He Ping that this newly established Flame Demon Tribe was different from other tribes, no matter how this tribe was established, a new tribe like this would definitely not reject outsiders, or rather, they would definitely work hard to absorb outsiders in order to increase their strength.
Especially shamans like He Ping, it is even more important for a newly established tribe, and the most important thing is that the fire demon tribe is still a tribe dominated by shamans, in such a tribe, shamans will definitely be able to obtain a high status, which can be described as a godsend for He Ping's next actions.
