The old man first saluted Yuri back, and then said, "Thank you for saving Ke Zhu and Ke Rui, and you have already told me about your intentions, but I don't know what this adult means by investment? Our tribe has lived in this swamp for generations, and what do you mean by leaving here? In addition, you can really take us to rescue Hui Ling?"

The old witch's lingua franca was almost indistinguishable from that of the outside, and Yuri noticed that he was slightly agitated when he said his last words. Could it be that the captured leader had anything to do with this man?

After listening to his question, Yuri nodded before saying, "Answer the first question first, before answering the first question, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if you have the patience to answer it?"

The two old men glanced at each other, and Wu Lao nodded and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Yuri continued, "The question is, are you happy with your current life?"

The witch elder and the old leader looked at Yuri silently, and Yuri also looked at the two old men.

The old leader shook his head and sighed: "It's not satisfying or dissatisfied, the tribe has lived here since its birth, it has prospered and decayed, and when it was prosperous, the population of the tribe once reached 2,000 people, and the surrounding tribes had to look at our faces, and when it was declining, there were only less than 100 people left, for example... Hey!"

Wu Lao also said: "I think what you want to ask is whether we are satisfied with the status quo, right?"

Yuri nodded, and Wu Lao continued after pondering for a moment: "Don't tell you, in the past hundred years, outsiders have entered the swamp more and more frequently, and they have also brought some information from the outside world to our swamp, and they have also brought rich products from the outside world, delicious condiments, and excellent weapons, which have provided us with a lot of convenience in our lives, but there are also changes in people's hearts, and there are many tribes who can't help but be tempted to choose to cooperate with outsiders and work for outsiders, but what is abundant in this black woodland?" How many of the outsiders who can come here are good people? So many tribes have suffered a great loss! Among these tribes that have suffered, including our tribe, of course, this was a long time ago, after that accident, there are less than 100 people left in our tribe, and it has only recovered to a few hundred in the past few decades, and if you want to say whether you are satisfied with the current status quo, the answer is undoubtedly dissatisfied, and even hate it, but we are powerless to change the current situation, and we can only barely maintain it..."

Yuri was a little puzzled and asked, "What was the accident that caused your population to plummet?"

Wu Lao's face showed a sad look and said: "Population plunder! The last time the tribe suffered, the murderer was the Black Goat Sect, which was once notorious in the entire continent, not only our tribe, but also the entire Black Forest was captured, and nearly eighty percent of the people were arrested! After those people were captured, there was no more news. ”

"Just last month we had another plunder, nearly half of the young people were robbed, but this time it seems to be a little different, the plundered population seems to be alive, some of them even returned to the tribe halfway, but they all dared to stay too long, I asked them, but they seemed to be frightened, refused to say anything, hurriedly left the tribe again, I asked people to chase, and the person who took the chase did not return. ”

Yuri nodded calmly and said, "Well, I heard these things mentioned by Ke Zhu and them, but they are not as detailed as you said, as for the people who plundered the members of the clan, I have some eyebrows at present, and the purpose of my trip is also these people, and I have also seen the current situation of the tribe, I don't think you are qualified to let me help you!"

After hearing Yuri's words, Wu Lao stood up suddenly, stared at Yuri, and said, "Then are you here to entertain us, or are you just in league with those people at all!?"

Yuri was unmoved, looked directly into the eyes of the old witch and said, "Don't worry, listen to me! I'm just saying that, is it because you don't feel that you lack something? After experiencing the tribe being plundered, you actually have no sense of resistance!? At least I don't see the anxious and angry emotions on your faces, can you tell me why? Is it really human? Or are you afraid of those people?!"

Seeing that neither the Witch Elder nor the Old Commander spoke, Yuri added, "The collaborator I need must be a warrior of noble qualities! Unfortunately, you don't seem to have this quality, and although I have some sympathy for your plight, I don't need a bunch of cowards!"

The old commander and Wu Lao stood up at the same time and glared at Yuri, and the old commander shouted angrily: "Young man, you are too arrogant! Don't think that if you help us, you will be unscrupulous! We have no shortage of courage and hatred! But we will not do it if we have the courage to die without a plan! Put away your trick and say what you can bring us? What do we need to give! As long as I can afford it, I am willing to take a risk!"

Hearing this, the witch elder next to him hurriedly said: "Old fellow! You! You can't do this! These outsiders don't have a good thing! We will inevitably be used if we cooperate with them! The end we face will definitely end up with those old tribes!"

Yuri was not annoyed by being exposed by the old leader, and looked at the old witch and said, "This, the old witch, I don't seem to have taken out my chips yet, right?

Yuri took a step forward and continued: "The Black Rain Swamp is very large, there must be many tribes like you or clans stronger than you, you talk like this, is it possible that I have to ask for your cooperation?"

The old man got up from the stone he was sitting on with his cane to support his body, looked at Yuri and said: "Young man, don't be impatient, I'm not old enough to see people clearly, and I have kept this old saying in my heart since I was sensible, you are good! Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Yuri smiled and took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, and said: "Then let me introduce myself first, my name is Yurias Thunder Rutherman, the Count of the Empire, I am here to track down some things, and to find some people, this scroll has the seal of the Emperor of the Empire, the place where the Divine Grace of Light is shrouded, and this seal cannot be faked." ”

The old man's eyes flashed with surprise, he reached out and took the scroll in Yuri's hand, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, handed the scroll to the witch elder on the side, and the witch elder also took it and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Yuri continued: "I don't know if you don't know one thing, the territory you are in is the entire Black Rain Swamp range, which is what you call the Black Forest Shrouded Land, which has already been assigned to the Duke of Thunder by the Empire a few years ago, that is, my father, the Grand Duke of Lehman. In other words, the place where you live is actually my family's territory, of course, I don't mean anything else, and the dukedom has no intention of reclaiming the territory for the time being, and you can continue to live here. The Black Rain Swamp has now become a place of filth and filth, and lawbreakers are rampant, and you must have heard of the notorious Black Rain Alliance recently. ”

The old man's hand holding the cane trembled a little, and he first saluted Yuri before saying: " I offended before, Lord Earl, the news of the Black Forest is blocked, we don't know the news you said, but I believe what you said, don't hide it, when I was young, I wanted to lead the tribe out of here, but because there were wars in many places outside the swamp at that time, I found that if I went out, there was no place for the tribe to stay, and the Black Forest at that time was a safe place, after the war outside, we also encountered the plunder of the Black Goat Cultists in the Black Forest, lost a large number of people, and hid in Tibet all day long, and were unable to migrate, and could only get by, barely maintaining to the point where we are today。 ”

After the witch elder respectfully handed the scroll back to Yuri, he also bowed and said, " The old man is right, the life of the Black Forest is too difficult, especially the black rain that will fall every few days, there are too many children in the tribe who are sick because of the black rain, those diseases cannot be cured at all, every time I lose a child, I hate this Black Forest more and more, do not hide it from the Earl, in fact, many tribes envy the White Frost tribe, they were the first to contact with outsiders, and the common language of the outside was transmitted into the Black Forest, we knew that the world outside the Black Forest was without Black Rain..."

When Wu Lao said these words, his voice couldn't help but choke a little, and he wiped his eyes before he said again: " Outsiders, brought civilization, but also brought ominous, they initially hired people from the White Frost tribe to do things for them, and then for some reason, the White Frost tribe released the news, and recruited a large number of young people from other tribes to do things for those outsiders, and many young people who did things for them were gone, only a few people sent back their belongings and materials, we know that this matter is also because there are young people in the upper tribe who can't resist the temptation to go, but the elders of the upper tribe can't ask anything, and the young people who send things back can't seem to tell where they have been, so it has been a few years laterThe young people who sent things never came back, and sent people to the white frost to investigate, but they sent sheep into the tiger's mouth, and none of them came back. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Lao's expression became a little angry, and he continued: "Just two months ago, my son! The leader of Tatarasi, when he led the young people of the tribe to go out hunting, was attacked by the people of the White Frost tribe, and several children were taken away at that time, he led the young people of the tribe to escape back to the village, but I did not expect it, this is actually a conspiracy, the people of the White Frost tribe followed him to our gathering place, and the outsiders came with them, they took my son, and most of the young people in the tribe, but we old fellows could only watch the children being taken away! I really want to kill myself! But I chose to survive, because the children's souls are still on, and they are still alive! I want to see them again!"

Li frowned and said, "Soul Lamp?"
