The next morning, after a night of noisy bonfires, the camp fell silent before the morning came, and the people of the various tribes in the market returned to their tents with their harvests from the party, and only the rangers who were responsible for the safety of the market still patrolled the market inside and outside.

The young men of the caravan were still asleep in their tents because of their participation in the party, and the caravan did not force them up, but the old men who did not attend the party hired some people from the market to sort out and pack the goods traded yesterday.

In addition, more than a dozen young people from the local tribe also accepted the caravan's employment yesterday, ready to go outside to see it, because of the excitement, they came to the caravan's camp early to help the caravan old man pack the goods.

The various tribes in the bazaar did not show any anomalies, and it seems that Pigas did not succeed in convincing the tribe last night.

And then Leo also learned from Sans that last night Pigas was dismissed as captain of the Prairie Rangers for some reason, and instead gave him the position of Elder of the Bazaar.

The news sounds like Pigas has been promoted, but when you think about it, you can see that Pigas has been taken from power.

When Pigas was still the captain of the Prairie Ranger, this team of more than 1,000 joint rangers was completely under his orders, and the power in his hands could be said to be real, and now although he was promoted to the position of the higher position of the Elder of the Bazaar, in fact, the power in his hands was equal to nothing.

If it were a tribal elder, it would be better, more or less would have some rights, but the bazaar council elder is a nursing home that relies on the old and sells the old, and the people who serve as elders are some very old people in various tribes who have retired from important positions, and now stuffing a middle-aged man like Pigas into it is undoubtedly a dignified demotion to him.

When Leo found out about this, he felt that he should have another conversation with Pigas.

Sure enough, just as noon, when the caravan had already arranged all its pack wagons and was preparing to continue its march towards the city of Dry Steel, Pigas, with a worried face, found Leo.

"Mr. Leo, is there any way I can save these innocent people?" asked Pigas in a deep voice towards Leo.

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "There's only one way. ”

"What's the solution?" asked Pigas hurriedly.

"Before the catastrophe strikes, you become the sole ruler of this grassland. Leo said in a deep voice.

"How can this be?" said Pigas with a look of surprise: "There has never been a master in this grassland, all our tribes ......"

"All tribes are free and then free to die, right?" Leo indifferently interrupted Pigas's painting and said in a deep voice: "Just because there has been no Juggernaut before doesn't mean it won't appear in the future." ”

"I ......" Pigas did not refute Leo's words, he fell silent, and the expression on his face changed, sometimes worried, sometimes determined.

Leo looked at the other party and said, "Actually, becoming a master is not as difficult as you think, especially with you, a grassland hero who has passed so many trials. And don't forget, how many people you have saved on the grassland over the years, and how many people in various tribes have received your favors. ”

Hearing Leo's reminder, Pigas's eyes no longer changed, but gradually became firm, but there was still a trace of inexplicable hesitation in his eyes.

"Know that everything you do is to save them," Leo added, adding another fire, "Do you think what the consequences will be if you don't, and how many people will survive the catastrophe I speculate will occur?"

At this time, the last trace of hesitation in Pigas's eyes disappeared, and his eyes became extremely determined, and then he said to Leo very straightforwardly: "Mr. Leo, thank you! If you need my help in the future, please send someone here to inform me, I will definitely ......."

"There's no need," Leo interrupted Pigas with a shake of his head, "and I won't have anything to do with you, and if I do come across something I can't do, you won't be able to do it." ”

Although Leo was telling the truth, it was too direct, which made Pigas, who was originally very grateful to Leo, feel a little embarrassed, but his personality was hearty and upright, and he did not resented Leo because of this, but just said that his promise was always valid, and then left.

After Pigas left, Leo turned around and returned to the pack cart's tent, but his face was not pretty, and his eyes were full of surprise, as if he was suspicious of something.

"Why am I giving him all that advice?" Leo said to himself with a serious face, "This doesn't look like my person, this ......"

Leo's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had woken up, and then he saw him raise the arm where the Abyss Serpent's eyeball was located, and said, "Are you influencing me?"

As he spoke, his psionic energy probed into the past along with the devouring power that had absolutely suppressed the power of the abyss.

Just now, Leo suddenly remembered the book he had read in the royal city that recorded the history of the rise and fall of the royal city, and in that book, he focused on how the abyss affected the royal city step by step, creating disputes, chaos and killing, which was the most common method of the abyss, just like his advice to Pigas just now.

At first glance, his advice to Pigas may seem like the best advice, but in fact it is not, it is only the most direct and effective advice, not the best advice.

If Pigas acted according to this advice, then this small grassland would inevitably fall into the whirlpool of tribal warfare, and with Pigas's own strength, his prestige and reputation, as long as there was no outside force intervening, then he would be the ultimate victor.

But whatever the outcome of the victory, the war is actually happening here, and the number of deaths is bound to be high, then the scene of harmony in the bazaar will disappear forever, and there will be only disputes and chaos in this grassland.

Moreover, after Pigas unified this small steppe, it did not mean that the dispute was over, and the attitude of the western city-states would determine the direction of future wars.

The western city-states were able to allow the tribes of the steppes to be independent of the control of the city-states because these small tribes were not very numerous, with a maximum of less than 2,000 people, and they were fragmented and scattered.

But once the various tribes of the steppe are united, it is a large tribe with more than 200,000 people and nearly 100,000 young people, even larger than any tribe in the west, how can they watch such a tribe form with peace of mind, so there is no doubt that there will be a war in the west of Savile.

This is not over, once the war appears unfavorable to the western city-states, then the small tribes that are suppressed by several large tribes of the western city-states will definitely do something, and when the stable foundation of the western city-states is shaken, then the foundation of the stable power of the entire Savile Kingdom will also be shaken, then Savile will be caught in the same civil war as Mares, and it will be even more chaotic and disorderly.

Thinking of this, Leo's face became more and more ugly, although he had experienced countless wars, he saw that the number of people who died in the war was just a series of numbers, but let him personally cause such a huge number of casualties, if it was a cyborg, it might not be nothing, but now it made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, even so, Leo did not think to call Pigas and persuade him to change his mind, because he was a little worried, worried that all this was not only affected by the Abyssal Serpent, but also by the Lord of Life and Death.

Think about it, if there is a dispute, then what happened last night is the cause.

Although this may be a little overthinking by Leo, everything may just be a coincidence, but if there is a war in the Kingdom of Savile, then who will be the ultimate beneficiary, the Church of the Lord of Life and Death, this is almost exactly the same as the situation in the Kingdom of Mares.

As he thought about it deeply, Leo's face became more and more ugly, and finally Leo closed his eyes, as if he was clearing his thoughts, and suddenly sighed heavily, and his face gradually returned to normal.

After a period of mental entanglement, Leo also quickly communicated, whether he was affected by external forces or not, and to Pigas to give such a suggestion, he can no longer party the situation, ambition is easy to ignite, it is difficult to extinguish, even if Leo now gives a better way, Pigas is afraid that he will choose the one that is more beneficial to him.

Leo sighed and didn't think about Pigas anymore, the most important thing he needed to deal with now was to determine if the Abyssal Serpent's eyeballs were really affecting him badly, and find a solution to this effect.

After that, Leo stayed in the tent, and after the caravan had eaten lunch, he began to continue his journey, heading for the ancient salt railway in the Quincy Snow Mountain.

Because Pigas's rangers regularly cleaned up a certain number of dangerous animals on the grassland, the caravan's journey on the grassland was relatively smooth, the only trouble was that it seemed to rain heavily in the grassland near the snowy mountains in the morning, the ground became muddy, and the wheels fell into the mud several times, and even one pack cart broke due to improper force when pulling out, so that the caravan had to stop to repair the pack cart.

Therefore, when the caravan arrived at the bottom of the Quincy Snow Mountain, the starting point of the ancient salt railway, it was already early morning, except for people like Leo who never stayed in the pack cart, everyone in the caravan was covered with mud, and they were tired and hungry, and the cold wind blowing down from the snowy mountains also made the temperature here very cold, and everyone's body had reached the limit.

It's just that now something has happened that has caused some headaches for the upper echelons of the caravan, and a suitable garrison site originally selected by the caravan based on past experience has been flooded by the water of the creek next to the garrison point, but it is also incorrect to say that the creek has now become a small river.

As for the other suitable places to camp are muddy grass, it is difficult to ensure rest in this environment, and if the rest is not sufficient, it may be dangerous to take the ancient salt railway.

"We can go to the castle and set up camp. At this time, the old man, who had run four or five times with the caravan, proposed.

Everyone in the tent fell silent and looked at him strangely.

The old man's face was slightly ugly, and he said with a little annoyance, "If you think it's not suitable, you can suggest a more suitable place." As he spoke, he muttered with an extremely obvious look of disdain: "I really don't know what you are afraid of, you must know that the legend about that castle has passed for thousands of years, and no one has really seen the monster in the castle from beginning to end, and there is no clear news that someone has had an accident in the castle, I really don't know what you are worried about?"

After everyone heard the other party's mocking words, their faces became very ugly, although they were indeed afraid of the ancient castle that had been said for thousands of years, but no one was willing to admit that now this old man's words were equivalent to a slap in the face to everyone, and it was strange that their faces could be good-looking.

"Ahem!" Gu Sang coughed lightly twice, broke the awkward atmosphere in the tent, and said: "Okay! Lao Bayi is right, the matter of the ancient castle has been rumored for thousands of years, and it has long been unreliable, so we don't need to worry about being afraid, so we will camp in the ancient castle, rest for a day and a night, and when we have enough spirit and strength, we will set off to climb the mountain in the early morning of the day after tomorrow." ”

With Gusan making the decision to camp in the ancient castle, the caravan slowly changed direction and drove towards the abandoned ancient castle at the front end of the ancient salt railway.

For the caravan's decision, the people at the bottom of the caravan naturally have no way to influence, but this does not prevent them from talking about various things related to this ancient castle, and the tone of their speech has gradually changed from worried and flustered to excited and excited, and some of them are even a little eager to camp in the ancient castle immediately, and then secretly carry the elders in the caravan to explore the hidden secrets in the ancient castle.

Although the packer driver Sans was an outsider, he had a good relationship with the people in the caravan, and he also joined in the conversation, and obtained a lot of information about the castle from the conversation, and when he returned to his packer, he also told this information to Leo.

Originally, Leo was not interested in this kind of castle legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, because the legend of the castle around the world is nothing more than the owner of the castle is unwilling to accept the decline of the castle and the like, and he appears in the form of a ghost to create something that has attracted the attention of some people, etc.

But when he heard all the rumors about the castle that Sans had heard, his original thoughts began to change, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit about the castle, and decided that if he had time, he should explore the castle, maybe he could find something interesting.
