The situation in the Shale tribe is much better than expected, mainly because the yurts inhabited by the steppe tribes are not as structurally problematic as wooden or stone houses, and even if they collapse in an earthquake, they will not cause too much damage. And it's not yet noon, so it's not the time to cook on fires, and the fires that often arise after earthquakes haven't been generated. But that doesn't mean the impact of the earthquake will be as swift as it will come and go.

"Witch!" "Outsider. "Enchantress. Voices like these never cease when the Cheese they enter the Shale Department and meet the Shale people. Of course, they didn't dare to shout these names out loud, but even if it was just whispering, there were many people in the team who had a keen sense of hearing and could read lips. Moreover, those hostile cloudy eyes are no less uncomfortable than the whispers of their mouths.

"It seems that they blamed us for the earthquake. Lothar said with a smile, but his expression was not cheerful. He could understand why the Count could have imagined the effect of the sudden arrival of the outsiders who had returned with sacrifices that should have been sacrificed and which rarely occurred on the steppe, and the extent to which the thoughts of men would be directed. And it is because he understands this that he is angry at the way these people think, "Ignorance." ”

Cheese glanced slightly sideways when he heard his companion's words, he didn't expect to hear the word from Lothar's mouth one day. In the mage's impression, the latter should not blame these people, the Count of Montenegro has been more empathetic since he was a child, he is a person who can think from the perspective of others, as it should be. When did they become like this? Since when did the knights build themselves castles and no longer look into the distance? This awakening frightened the grey robes. Because he suddenly realized that the same thing should have happened to him.

"They are not ignorant. As if to excuse and remind, Cheese continued with Lothar, "They just don't know enough. If they knew enough, they wouldn't blame someone else for the problem. ”

The Count was also a little surprised by the mage's words, for the previous cheeses would not have said anything like "if only they knew enough", and the Grey Robe's worship of knowledge and the protection of its privacy were almost etched in his bones. As a result, when dealing with issues including rat people, the mages of the past often considered not to inform the other party of the reasonableness of their opinions through gentle means, but to adjudicate the rights and wrongs of their encounters with a condescending justice with personal superiority.

The mage resides on a tower overlooking the world. This was the agreement of Lothar and the others about Cheese and his fellow disciples, but by now, the gray robes on the tower might not have been so stubborn about his platform, and it was possible that they had gradually descended the ivory tower and onto the ground before everyone noticed. This situation is not good or bad, and although it is easy for a mage to walk into the crowd, he may lose that ability to look far ahead because of it. Either way, though, the irritability of Lothar's mind from the Charle's fingers was mostly gone.

Until he saw Uvel's face. The Earl's instinct told him that that was not the face of the Zhang clan leader in such a situation. Uvel, the head of the Shale tribe, he knew something. Lothar is not the only one who feels this way, in fact, both Cheese and Witch have different degrees and angles of suspicion about Uvel, but now is not the time for them to throw out their doubts.

"We screwed up. In words you can understand, the spirits sent their messengers to prevent us from bringing the sacrifices. It doesn't look like your decision is pleasing to them. Cheese stopped and said to the head man who came up. If the Dancing Elf is identified by the Shaman as the spirit of the earth, then the Yew Man, who is also a goblin, is not a lie if he is described as the messenger of the spirits.

Uvel's face changed, he would have directly attributed the words of this foreign wizard to an excuse. However, when it came to the topic of spirits on the grassland, especially the silent attitude of the shaman in the tribe who also stood quietly behind the mage and did not speak, he had to think about the credibility of Cheese's words.

"That's unfortunate. But it's normal for spirits to get angry because of our dealings with blasphemers. Especially the blasphemers who are powerful enough to stir the earth. ”

Cheese's eyes narrowed, "That's too early, the Skinners are tough, but it's too much to ask them to cause an earthquake." With all due respect, I do not agree with the idea that this earthquake is related to any current events. It was just an accident. ”

"Accident?" Uvel raised an eyebrow, "Come on, I'll show you something." Then let's talk about whether it was an accident or not. ”

What the head says refers to the shaman's yurt, or to be precise, the place where the shaman's yurt once was. When the group followed Uvel here, they were not greeted by Witch's hut, but by an ugly, large, mouth-like chasm. The crack appeared abruptly on the ground, swallowing the tent that had been standing here, leaving only a bottomless black hole. This is not the result of chance, and it does not need to be identified by anyone, as long as you can understand at a glance that something has created all this.

"Do you still think it's an accident?" Uvel stood about twenty paces from the breach, and he didn't seem to want to get any closer.

Cheese had no such concerns, and he and Wu Qi walked to the rift for different reasons, the latter mainly to see if there was anything left in his tent. As a result, it was disappointing, and when you looked through the crack, you could only see the forcibly separated soil and the dark holes underneath, and the engulfed yurt completely disappeared into the darkness.

"What do you think is the reason?" said the mage to the shaman, without discussing who and how he created this scene, what was his purpose?

"The stuff in my tent has been following me for a long time. What has been added in the last few days... Except for your luggage, there's only—" Wu Qi pondered over what could trigger this consequence. He, like Cheese, didn't think it was just a simple revenge on the Skinners or Yew People, because revenge didn't need to be such a big scene. The benefit of this kind of destruction is nothing more than that they completely lose the items in the shaman's yurt, so the reason why the other party will do this must also be on this.

"Those worms. Someone doesn't want us to know more about them. ”
