Chapter 165: The Spectator

It is true that you can't do it often, because habit is a terrible thing. Those who are often on the verge of life and death will gradually adapt to the dangerous environment at work, and the real danger will quietly come as the initial awe is gradually replaced by skillful skill and self-confidence. Therefore, keeping a distance from unnecessary danger is what people who must go deep into fear need to do, the knife is not sharper and sharper, on the contrary, in order for it to be able to cut through what is in its path after it is unsheathed, the sharper the knife, the more it needs to know how to hide the edge.

But the blade of the Hidden Edge also needs to be sharpened with stone, and blindly staying away from danger will only make the keen intuition cultivated from the crisis gradually become lax, which is contrary to the original idea, isn't it? This means that the mage will no longer make this the goal of his actions when making a holistic plan, and he will not give up the opportunity to pursue the answer to this question when he himself has the opportunity. There is no contradiction between the two, just a separation between the two identities of the squad leader and the gray-robed mage.

In fact, with Cheese's current physical condition, such a plan is a bit difficult. The temporary loss of arms means that he can't cast spells as freely, and if he goes after a clue on his own without the help of the rest of his teammates, he will likely become unable to deal with it. But for the mage himself, this may not be entirely a bad thing. Cheese has been thinking about a question, that is, why Roland, a person who is familiar with his teacher but knows nothing about magic, can walk leisurely on the earth without relying on force, financial resources or even magic power in his old age, and can also move between various forces of light and darkness with ease. He must have mastered something that was not taught in the Grey Tower, and this kind of thing is likely to be obscured in Cheese's life, because there are too many problems that he subconsciously solves through magic and knowledge, and the distance from magic may be an opportunity now.

That being said, Cheese now has only a few immature ideas about how to use this opportunity, and what role and purpose this five-person team will play in the next events as the team's decision-makers. He was not satisfied with this situation, because in the Grey Robe's view, improvisation was just a last resort, and if he could grasp the direction of events and more information, he would be able to plan a better blueprint for the future, or at least, he could help Nuisa fight for his own interests more gently.

The noise passed not far from the yurt, and Batu glanced at several people in the tent, and turned out of the yurt. After a moment, the falconer walked in looking out of the tent, "It's the men and horses of the Thun tribe, thirty-six horsemen, and the leader of the group looks like their leader." Now go to the tent. ”

Nuisa frowned, the Thun tribe is a medium-sized tribe attached to the wolf lord, and the population of the tribe is about two or three hundred people, which is a large force in the nearby grassland. Their leader was about twenty years older than the deceased wolf owner, and it is said that the wolf lord saw his bravery in the battle with the Thun tribe and spared his life, and since then the Tun tribe has become the right-hand man of the wolf owner, and has been loyal for decades, known as the hunting dog before the wolf. This time the wolf lord died, and they only came at this time, and only thirty-six people came, which was really a bit surprising.

"Are you sure they went straight to the tooth tent?" refers to the abode of the wolf lord, and the whole tribe is scattered around the yurt. At this time, the market where the group was located was the outermost part of the entire cobweb-like tribal building, and it was also the area where non-people from the headquarters were allowed to camp, and the largest number of people was also the most mixed. As for going further to the center, it is not so easy, unless it is a few tribes that are relatively close to the wolf master, most of them will be stopped. Of course, the Thun tribe is not among them, the people of the Thun tribe enjoy the same treatment here as the people of their own tribe, and the daughters and sisters of the head of the Thun tribe are the concubines of the wolf lord, and the wolf lord tribe and the Thun tribe have been married frequently in these years, and many people here have the blood of the two fusions.

"It's just the direction, there is no one from the headquarters to show them the way, you should know better than me if you can get in. Batu said in a deep voice, he had no way of knowing the rules of the big tribes, and he was born in a marginal tribe. In terms of size, the Antelope tribe may not even be qualified to be a vassal to the Thun tribe, and it is not surprising that some people who are closed have not heard of his tribe.

"Nobody showed them the way? This, that's not right. The Wolf Lord's brow furrowed more and more, and she glanced at the mage, and saw that although the latter was looking at her, there was no inquiry in his eyes. Obviously, the cheese is more patient than she is now. Taking a light breath, Nuisa took the initiative to talk about the relationship between the Thun tribe and her own tribe, and at the same time, she also mentioned that as a close ally, even if the Thun tribe already knew something about the layout here, in order to show intimacy, every time the messenger of the road was never less.

"Two possibilities. After listening to her description, Lothar opened his mouth to analyze, and said before that for this kind of thing, even the gray robe had to listen to his advice, "One, the tribe is now in a mess, and there is no energy to send people to meet it according to the old etiquette. Or, it is a few more powerful people who contain each other, and do not let each other's people win the favor of the Thun Ministry, which is more probable. Of course, there is a second possibility, I don't know your father's character, and I don't know the character of the head of the Thun tribe, so what follows is just speculation. ”

"Perhaps, the Ministry of Thun has only come now, and has only sent a few dozen people, but the fact that there is the highest ranking leader among them is a signal in itself. ”

"What signal?" Nuisa suddenly felt that the other party had begun to tell riddles, and education on the prairie did not include the art of scheming.

But at this point, Cheese already understood what Lothar meant, "What he means is that Thun is not not coming, but a gesture." A neutral stance, to be late, is to stay away from the most intense stages of conflict. And now that the contradiction has not been resolved, they have come, which shows that they are worried about the current situation and cannot hold their breath. But even so, they only came with about 30 people, and they did not have enough to protect themselves, so it was pointless to really get involved in an armed conflict. This means that they will not be involved in the upcoming fight, and in simple terms, the attitude of the Thun Ministry is that whoever wins will ally with whomever they want. ”

"Cunning. Batu pouted, ashamed of this behavior, and in his opinion, the Turnes and the wolf lord were so close that they should stand up as a mediator and let the wolf lord's heirs divide the property peacefully. Instead of acting like you are now, you will be out of the way.

"Is it cunning? It's the dead wolf lord who has a friendship with the Thun Ministry, not his child. And they have nothing to do with it. ”
