"Ever since I saw him at the gate of the tribe, I have already discovered that he is elegant. Pannis looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "But I don't know what he's going to do, and you can't believe me, so I didn't mention it." I'm not worried about your life, after all, he disguised himself as Lang and infiltrated your team, he must have some plan, it won't be as simple as wanting to kill someone, your life safety can still be guaranteed, but, even so, I have been keeping an eye on the situation on your side last night, so as not to really have another murder. I guess he turned over the contents of your tent, I didn't see this, but this morning, I noticed that he sneaked out of your tent and got into the deer-people's tent, so I was able to take you directly to him. ”

"Haven't slept all night?" Catherine asked in a low voice, "After a whole day of driving, you have to travel all day today, if you don't sleep at night, will you be mentally able to stand it today?" ”

"Haha, after all, I promised you that no one would die, so you have to watch it. Pannis shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me, it's okay if you don't sleep for a day, and it'll be fine if you rest early tonight." ”

Catherine frowned and sighed, but didn't say anything. However, the curious Lina couldn't control her curiosity, pulled Pannis to the side, and asked in a low voice, "You said you found it at the gate of the tribe? ”

"Well, counting this time, I've already seen him three times after all. "I have a unique way of identifying a person, even if the person is wearing makeup and deliberately hiding their identity, I usually don't make a mistake," Pannis said. ”

"In what way?" Lina opened her eyes and asked, "I just looked at his corpse for a long time, and I didn't find anything wrong, no matter how I look at it, it's an ordinary dwarf, and if you don't scrape his face with a knife, you can't even see that he has made up, so I wonder, how did you recognize him, why can't I recognize him?"

"Because you didn't think of that. "Everybody has some hidden traits that they wouldn't notice if they tried to disguise them, and if they tried to, they often wouldn't succeed, but if you notice them, you can basically do it," Pannis explains. ”

"Hidden features?" asked Lina, puzzled, "What about breathing and heartbeat?"

"No, no, no, breathing and heartbeat are too easy to disguise for high-level professionals, and I'm talking about small details that are hard to notice. Pannis shook his head and said mysteriously, "For example, do you care how often you blink? When you turn around, do you pay attention to whether your waist starts to tense first or your ankles start to tense first? When you take a step, do you pay attention to whether you are used to tightening the adductor longus muscle or contracting the gracilis first? Why do I always recognize your friends? It's because each of them has different habits, so I can tell at a glance whether you are yourself or not. You know, breathing and heartbeat such obvious features, many people can think of and then disguise, but this kind of almost instinctive habit, often people themselves can't see, it's a blind spot, even if you really want to disguise, it's difficult to completely change your habits, anyway, I haven't seen anyone who can disguise these details, if there really is such a person, then I can only admit defeat. ”

Lina looked at Pannis blankly, blinked, turned her head and left without saying a word, and when she walked back to the person, she was already like a different person, put her arm on Catherine's shoulder and said, "Sister, I have decided not to pay attention to that monster. ”

"What?" Catherine, who was talking to Barto, turned around and teased with a smile, "What?

"Yes, I asked. Lina said with annoyance: "I didn't ask if I knew it, that's not a way that a normal creature can think of at all." Ha, adductor longus, gracilis muscle, which one contracts first, what's the joke, how do I know which one contracts first. ”

Catherine smiled and asked blankly, "What is that?"

"Well, it's weird, so I'm sure he's a monster. Lina let go of Catherine's shoulder and took a step towards Bartow. Barto already has a psychological shadow on Lina, although he found that there was a subtle difference in her temperament before and after, but he still subconsciously took a step back. Lina maintained the posture of Caterina just now, and faced Bato with an expression that mixed rudeness, boldness, confidence, and gentleness, but the gaze in her eyes was as sharp as a knife:" Mr. Barto, I'm sorry to interrupt the communication between you and the eldest sister, but I still want to ask first, Grace has retreated, although his words may not be credible, but when he left, he admitted to giving up the task, this sentence is on behalf of the Shadow Hand, he can damage his own reputation, but he does not dare to damage the reputation of the Shadow Hand, so he should not come back if he retreats. So, what are you going to do after that?"

"After that?" Barto was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Lina immediately experienced the headache that Catherine and Pannis felt before, and pressed her forehead and said, "Forget it, eldest sister, you should continue to talk to him, I feel a headache." ”

Catherine pushed her aside with a laugh and continued Lina's conversation and asked, "If he retreats, your crisis will be resolved, so you shouldn't be going to continue to hire us." I'm curious about what you said, but if you don't plan to hire us, then we won't ask too much, so we're ready to go. ”

"Why don't you hire it?" Barto was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "I don't believe the promises of those bastard thieves, what shadow hands, what captains, I don't believe any of them, I can only rest assured when I return to Chongshan City." ”

"Well, if that's your request. Catherine thought for a moment and nodded. After all, the destination of the escort is Chongshan City, and it does not conflict with his goal, even if the other party is in a carriage, it will take two more days at most, and after retreating gracefully, there will basically not be too much danger along the way, and it will not waste too much time and energy, and the price is not high. Relative to the cost, the harvest is very important to everyone, after all, if the trip can be assisted by the local dwarves, it will be much easier, and although these are hill dwarves, but with the relationship of the dwarves, if they mediate in the middle, it is not difficult to get the help of the crypt dwarves, so Catherine only hesitated a little and agreed: "Since you have hired us, then tell us more about the situation." I didn't find your subordinate Ron, but I did what you asked. ”

"I see. The sadness in Barto's heart was completely reflected on his face, and he said with a sad expression: "I will tell you everything, but before I tell you, you need to come to a place with me, there is something that you need to see." ”

"Patriarch Chiron. Catherine politely nodded to the old patriarch and thanked him: "Thank you for showing us the way, please rest assured, your people were not killed by this man, he just borrowed Biden's tent that left early, if nothing else, you can see him driving back with livestock tonight." ”

"Ancestors bless. Chiron sighed for a while, and then said: "Then I will go and continue to take care of the livestock first, if you friends need my help, just go over there to find me, don't be polite." ”

"Okay, we're definitely not going to be kind. Catherine smiled and said, "I hope Patriarch Kailong won't be too troublesome when the time comes." ”

"Hahaha, definitely not. The old man of the horse clan laughed loudly, and suddenly laughed, with an embarrassed expression on his face, rubbing his hands and saying embarrassedly: "By the way, friends of the Terran clan, we have helped sort out your loot, do you want to take a look?"

"Loot?" Catherine was stunned, "Why don't I remember what loot we had?"

"I mean the tail-locking dogs. Behind his back, Pannis whispered: "Those tailed dogs that have been burned or seriously injured. ”

"Those?" Catherine said suspiciously, "There are no valuable materials on the Broken Tail Dog, even if the fur is intact, it is not very valuable, at most a few silver coins, not to mention those that are still burned and incomplete, even if you want to sell them, that is, more than ten copper coins, it will take time to peel them...... Hmm, I see. ”

Catherine originally wanted to say what kind of trophy it was, but immediately thought that although those broken leathers were not valuable, they could still be used improvised, and they were dispensable for the five of them, but for this difficult nomadic tribe, it was a very precious wealth, and if she really said it unintentionally, it would probably make these enthusiastic orcs feel uncomfortable, so she swallowed the comment back in time, coughed dryly and just wanted to speak, but the Patriarch of Chiron continued directly:" It's the corpses of those tail-tailed dogs, and a few women in the clan have already disposed of the one hundred and twenty-seven tail-tailed dogs overnight. The skin has been peeled and stretched, and the meat has been cut into pieces, so you can take it if you have time. However, it is not ......"

"Old patriarch, if there is anything difficult, just say it. Catherine said, "You just said that we should not be polite, and now you are polite." ”

"It's such a shame. Chiron blushed and whispered, "I want to ask a few friends if the meat can be left for us, we, we will try to exchange it for something of equal value." ”

Catherine bowed her head and was silent for more than ten seconds, then raised her head and replied: "Those meat and skins will also be worth much in our hands, so it is difficult to measure how much is the equivalent of something." Well, the tubers we ate yesterday tasted very good, and we liked them very much, so you prepare us twenty kilograms, nay, thirty kilograms of those tubers, which are the fullest and most ripe, and I will exchange them for the skin and flesh of those tail-breaking dogs. ”

"How can this be?" Chiron quickly shook his head in refusal, "Those are just random digs we dig in the grasslands. ”

"Dead-tailed dogs are also randomly beaten by us on the grassland. Catherine winked mischievously and said with a smile, "And let's dig it, we can't dig it yet." How good it is to exchange like this, we both got what we wanted. ”

Behind Catherine, Pannis seems to see himself back then, and if it were his back then, he would have dealt with it in the same way. Thinking about it, he slowly showed an appreciative smile. (To be continued.) )
