Chapter 312: An Invitation from the Son of the Ancestors
Xia Ye's caravan embarked on the way back, and money was the most useless, so it was all exchanged for supplies, so the scale of the caravan was even larger, with a full 300 carts.
The daily feed consumed by the mules and horses alone was a huge expense, but no one in the caravan felt wasted, but felt a sense of security.
The larger the caravan, the stronger the power of the Asaka.
"Brother Zhu, didn't you say that it was a small tribe before? Looking at this scale, it doesn't look like it!"
"That's right, you said that more than 400 of us can hold a group and don't have to worry about being enslaved, but in this situation, it's not safe!"
"Or not?"
In the middle of the team, there is a group of craftsmen recruited by Xia Ye, with a total of 500 people, Zhu Yu is the leader, and more than ninety percent of them are brought by him by relying on the prestige he has accumulated in the displaced area in the past few years.
"How do I know!"
Zhu Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still had to maintain a calm smile on his face to reassure everyone: "It's okay, there are so many of us, no matter how bad it is, it is a medium force, and that Xia Ye will definitely not dare to mess around!"
Of course, Zhu Yu didn't want these people to leave, after all, Xia Ye had promised that as long as a craftsman arrived in Chaoge, he would give him some commission, so in his opinion, these people were moving sword coins.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, guess who I saw?"
A craftsman who had gone to the toilet ran back, his face full of surprise.
"Who?"
Zhu Yu frowned.
"It's the young patriarch, the ancestor is above, and he has been escorting that half-blind, this treatment is heaven-shattering!"
Craftsmen marvel.
"Wouldn't it, right? It's just a song of the dynasty, which deserves so much attention from the young patriarch?"
In these years, there is a custom to send relatives, friends, and allies, and it is a custom to send it again and again, and there are specific numbers for how many miles outside the city, and the farther it is, the deeper the feelings, the more valued it is.
"In a word, everyone has been quiet a little lately, don't make trouble!"
Zhu Yu warned.
Xia Ye was anxious for his hometown, so he let the caravan speed up, and three days later, he left the Wei Clan's territory and entered the wasteland.
The vast Gusen was like an ocean, swallowing everyone.
Even in the middle of summer, the dense vegetation covers the ground and the temperature on the ground is not too high, but rather cool.
The artisan troupe began to work spontaneously, and occasionally a mule cart got stuck in a mud puddle, and would also offer to help.
Toot!
The horn sounded.
"It's finally time for dinner!"
"Starving! starving!"
"You have a big belly, you have to eat the big chief poor!"
"Hey, I didn't steal your rice, and it's only been a few days, so I've called the big chief?"
The craftsmen were noisy and noisy, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
In addition to the uncertain future and some worries, the craftsmen are quite satisfied with their lives in the past few days.
I thought it would be good to have grains to eat, but what I eat every day is dough cakes and rice porridge, especially the kind of dough cakes, which are said to be baked using the new cooking method of Chaoge, and they are simply delicious.
By the way, Xia Ye said that due to the fatigue of the journey, every day for dinner, there must be a meat meal.
"Hey, it's a crime to eat this kind of stuff every meal!"
"Yes, if you do it, you should eat it when you are working, and you can drink it when you usually drink it!"
"I asked, Chaoge eats three meals a day!"
Every time they had a meal, the craftsmen would get together, and after learning that the food expenses were not included in the salary, they were all paid by Natsuno, and the craftsmen ate more energetically.
Before the song arrived, some craftsmen began to regret not bringing their wives and children with them.
Woo Guo was sitting by the campfire, roasting a pheasant leg, and was about to sprinkle some salt, when her ears suddenly moved, and she grabbed the fire unicorn next to her and jumped up.
"Who?"
At the same time, Jiaduo and Elivi also grabbed the javelin and rushed out, blocking in front of Xia Ye.
The female warriors all moved, and for a while, the murderous spirit was boiling.
Xia Ye looked up and saw a man in a black cloak, who appeared here at some point.
"Where's my guard?"
Xia Ye's face sank, and there were the most elite savage guards guarding the camp outside, and he also took a two-headed dog to guard the door, but there was no movement at all, which showed that the man in front of him was very powerful.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill them, but those mountain ghosts are too dirty, I didn't stay!"
The cloaked man's voice was full of anger, and as he spoke, he looked at the ghost master.
"What are you looking at?"
The ghost master was unhappy, the other party's eyes were black, as if he could dig out people's hearts with his gaze, which made his hair stand on end and gave birth to timidity.
"Are there really talking mountain ghosts?"
The man in the cloak is staggered.
"Who are you?"
Woad asked.
"Son of the Ancestors!"
The cloaked man chuckled, a deep pride in his voice.
"The son of the ancestors is amazing, isn't it?"
Woad snorted coldly.
"Haha, I know you've killed several of them, so that's what I'm here for!"
The man in the cloak looked at Natsuno.
"How?
Xia Ye couldn't figure out the purpose of this guy.
"No, I want to invite you to join the Son of the Ancestors!"
The man in the cloak raised his hand, and a bronze medal slammed into Natsuno.
"Great Chief!"
The female warriors were worried, who knows if this thing had been smeared with poison or something.
Elivier stepped forward and raised her face.
Bite!
The bronze medal swirled and flew up, and with Elivie's huge strength, they all took two steps back, this scene made the expressions of the female warriors instantly solemn.
"What's in it for me to join your organization?"
Xia Ye shrugged his shoulders: "I killed the sons of the ancestors, and I didn't see the intention that you want to avenge them!"
"You can become the son of the ancestors, it is the affirmation of the ancestors to you, as for the fight between the sons of the ancestors, within the organization, it is not stopped, after all, the growth of geniuses always needs some stepping stones, if you die, it can only mean that you are not genius enough, and you are not worthy of this title!"
The man in the cape explained.
"Ancestor, who is that?"
Woad furrowed a small brow.
"I don't need to be recognized. ”
Xia Ye sneered, in fact, he was testing the man in the cloak, looking at the status of those ancestors in his mind, and he himself had been completely vigilant, what did these ancestors plan to do when they gathered the geniuses of the younger generation?
"How do summer insects talk about ice, and how do grasshoppers shake trees?"
The man in the cloak shook his head: "Xia Ye, you know too little, that's why you are so arrogant, in fact, this world is far beyond your imagination!"
"Oh, let's hear it!"
Natsuno teased.
"By joining the Children of the Ancestors, you will have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the Ancestors and learn the true meaning of the world!"
When the man in the cloak said this, he was very religious.
"Sorry, not interested!"
The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, and the teachings of the ancestors, but he was a person who lived before the cataclysm, and he didn't know where he was higher than you natives, but he was still the ancestor of these natives.
"This guy is pretending to be a ghost, it's so annoying, catch it first, and torture it slowly!"
Elivia proposed.
"Haha, I will come three times, and after three times, it will be a war to meet, after all, those who are not used by me do not have to stay in this world!"
In the face of Elivia's rudeness, the cloaked man was not angry, and after nodding at Mo Wuxuan, he shattered into a cloud of black mist with a bang and dissipated in the camp.
"Jiaduo, go on patrol!"
Natsuno commanded.
Jiaduo ran around and found that the mountain ghost and the two-headed dog had each died, and the patrolling guards were not dead.
"Dare to kill my dog, next time we meet, kill him!"
Woad was angry.
"You are the son of the ancestors, right?
Xia Ye knew that after Asahi became famous, there would be constant troubles in the future, but he didn't expect that the first person to come to the door would be the son of the ancestor.
"I don't know!"
Mo Wuxuan sighed: "I heard that after the age of twenty, I will be told, I am not yet old!"
"Liar, huh?"
Elivia didn't believe it.
"Who knows, but I was also suddenly approached by such a cloaked man, and for a while, I made leaps and bounds in the manufacture of the Thousand-Eyed Crow, also because of the few bamboo slips they gave me. ”
Mo Wuyu took a bite of the meatloaf: "They do have some advanced technology, but if they want to get it, they must exchange it for results, and my two proud masterpieces were given to them." ”
To be called a masterpiece by Mo Wuxuan must be a very proud work.
"In fact, your papermaking skills are also very valuable, and it is estimated that you can exchange them for a unique building core!"
"What?"
Xiang Guo was surprised: "They still have this kind of thing?"
"The son of the ancestors is not only mysterious, but also very powerful!"
Mo Wuxuan reminded: "I heard my father say that the Mo family wanted to find out their ins and outs, but many people died, and they have given up since then. ”
After lunch, the caravan continued on its way, and because of this incident, Natsuno tripled the number of patrols and increased the defensive radius by a kilometer.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
A group of bandits trailing was discovered.
"How?"
The leader of the robbers was very depressed, and said that he would wait for the night when the prey slept and attacked the camp, but now it was exposed, and this is a sneak attack.
"The other party suddenly expanded the patrol area, and the people who followed didn't pay attention and were discovered!"
The scout captain was depressed, the enemy scouts were all savages, and they had long been accustomed to surviving in the wasteland, a difficult horse.
"What should I do? Do you want to withdraw temporarily?"
The captain asked.
"Withdraw Nima, blow the horn, since the sneak attack can't be successful, then attack!"
The leader pulled out his long knife and waved it forward, robbing this job, what he wanted was a momentum, the prey was frightened, and it was easy to grab it, and it was not too far from Wei's to say that it was not too far from Wei's, and it was not good to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Toot!
Accompanied by the fierce and rapid sound of horns, the robbers also roared, making all kinds of noises and exerting psychological pressure on their prey.
"It's over, it's a robber!"
"I'll just say, how can such a huge caravan be okay when it moves in the wasteland?"
"What are we going to do? Do you want to run?"
The people of the craftsman group suddenly had a panicked look on their faces.
"You wait, I'll go talk to Xia Ye!"
Zhu Yu was in a hurry, generally speaking, the main force of the caravan would be used to protect the safety of valuable goods and key personnel, like craftsmen, would be abandoned.
If the craftsman is captured, he will be a slave for the rest of his life.
