Chapter 55: The Treasure of Gondra
The Vics are naturally burly, and it is rare to see people of short stature in the savannah, even those in black who have been attacked by spells, although they are unusually thin, but their bones are still normal.

Such a thin and shriveled old man turned out to be the patriarch who ruled a powerful tribe, like a mouse standing on a high place, pointing fingers at the elephant herd and giving orders.
"Who are you?" asked Beatdaly again.
"Uh...... My name is Blackbell, and I am a knight, and your son Hatu has found me and entrusted me with the task of rescuing you......" Bell came back to his senses and explained to Dali.
"Oh...... You've all put down the guards around you?hey, the Beek warriors who once dominated the northern steppes can't even defeat a knight now!" Dali glanced at the guards who had fallen to the ground at the door, sighed and turned away.
DalΓ's words deepened Bell's doubts, judging from the situation of the fight, the strength of these clansmen was completely unworthy of a thousand-year dominance, and the patriarch's behavior at this time was also surprising, he did not seem to be in a hurry to escape. Bell suppressed the trouble in his heart and patiently explained: "The situation is very complicated now, fortunately, Uncle Gosan is not a wizard's man, he told me the location of the detained clansmen, let me come to find you first, and then lead the clansmen out of the savannah, by the way, Hatu and my companions are also imprisoned......"
"What? Hatu was captured!?" Dali was taken aback, and quickly stood up, his legs as thick as chopsticks quickly walked over, he grabbed Bell's shoulders and shook it vigorously: "Tell me quickly!
"He's fine for the time being!" replied Bell, "I was lurking with my companions in the tribe, and when the Hercules Cult was about to dispose of one of our tribesmen, Hatu rushed out to stop them, and my companions fought a great battle with your warrior Leta, and both of them were defeated, and I was just about to deal with the gold and silver mage, but Gosan took the lead in protecting the two of them, and sent someone to the place where the tribe was being held." He seems to have a plan of his own, so let me come to you first......"
"Is that so...... Gosanta...... Hey......" Dali muttered.
"Now is not the time to sigh, time is pressing, let's get out of here!" Bell urged.
"I ...... I'm not leaving!" Dali dodged out of his hand and took a few steps back to sit down again.
"Not leaving?" Bell was stunned for a moment, and then said a little angrily, "Old man, I'm just a knight who completes the task, no matter how willful you are, I don't care about you!"
"What do you know as an outsider?" Dali blushed and pointed at Bell, "Go to the detention center, ignore me, you just have to complete the mission!"
"If you stay here, will Hatu obediently go with me? Originally, his commission was for me to defeat the wizard and rescue all the clansmen, but now it's good, Gosan first asked me to leave the wizard alone, you simply didn't go with me, I knew that this was the case, it was better to leave Hatu in the city of Gnora in the first place!" Bell said angrily, according to Hatu's personality, even if he was forcibly taken away from the grassland, he would definitely not give up, and when the time came, he would not want to get the remaining commission for this task.
"Even if you defeat the wizard, the Vics will still ...... Perdition......" Dali covered his head and said bitterly, "at least let me, the defeated patriarch, stay here and hold out until the last moment......"
Perish...... Gosan had said the same before, and now that Bell had heard it again, he calmed down, straightened his mind, and said to Dali: "Patriarch, what is going on here, tell me in full, or I will not be able to explain it to him even if I take Hatu with me." β
"Hatu...... DalΓ repeated the name ......of the Beek prince, and after a while he recovered, and with a long sigh, "Well, I'll tell you everything so that you can tell you this, but you must first promise me that you will leave here with Hattu and the surviving people, no matter what means!"
"I promise you!" said him, but in fact he didn't know how to report to Dewar when he returned to this mission.
"It all starts with Bikgundra......" Dali struggled to calm his emotions, apparently struggling to recall what had happened, "it wasn't the Bick Savannah at that time, because there were many different tribes, and the Biks were just one of them. β
It's another story of a small village that has grown into a famous family, Bell thought to himself.
"There have been abundant mineral resources here since ancient times, and at that time these minerals could be exchanged for various needs, and the strength of the various tribes was similar, so they could coexist peacefully with each other and jointly manage this steppe. It's just that the human heart will not be eternal, and desires are like weeds, nourished by temptation, and breed wildly. At that time, the royal family had always coveted the minerals here, and they found an opportunity to unite the tribes that were already disagreeing to usurp most of the resources, so a war broke out between the tribes. β
"The royal family at that time...... It's not the kingdom of Scania yet, is it?" asked Bell.
"Of course, the pattern of a thousand years ago is completely different from what it is now. Later, a powerful warrior appeared in the Bik tribe, none other than our ancestor Bikgundra. Since the individual tribes were completely outnumbered by these combined forces, Lord Gondra rallied the other tribes to fight together. β
Heroes always come out in troubled times, and from the appearance of those two statues, Bell can imagine that Bikgundra is a brave and warlike leader.
"However, although Lord Gondra was wise and brave, he was really inferior in numbers, and was completely unable to resist the continuous attacks of the coalition forces. Seeing that the Biks were about to be defeated, one day, Lord Gondra suddenly had incredible strength, and he actually killed the coalition forces with one person. According to the records of his ancestors, Gondra was like a tireless bull, trampled by him everywhere he went, and the enemy soldiers were completely unable to resist him, as if he had inexhaustible strength, even if he fought for days and nights. β
"This must have acquired some kind of mysterious power, how could a normal human have such an ability?"
Regardless of where his strength came from, at least in the aftermath of the battle, as long as Gondra joined the battle, the enemy army was terrified and surrendered, and finally the royal family had to sign an armistice with the Vic tribes, and the tribes were finally able to survive because of Gondra's outright. Later, they found that only by forming an alliance with each other could they not be easily invaded by foreign enemies, so they formed a tribal alliance led by Gondra. However, shortly after the formation of the Alliance, Lord Gondra left behind a black stone tablet and died suddenly. β
"Black Stele, could it be that Gondra's power comes from this?"
Indeed, Lord Gondra informed the people of the time, and the stele was buried deep in the ground as a treasure left by him. β
"Could it be that the stele has something to do with the current situation? It's too long, isn't it?"
"It's been a thousand years, but as you say, the stele has caused everything that is now," Dali said bitterly, "At that time, Gondra only told his people that the name of the stele was called the Stele, and after his death, the ancestors studied the stele on their own and came up with a method of using it, and this ...... It's the beginning of a nightmare!"
The beginning of a nightmare...... For thousands of years, the Bik people have been proud of the steppe, and the Xia continent has undergone all kinds of changes, but the steppe area has always been the same, and outsiders all praise it for its strength. And at this time, all this was called a nightmare by the patriarch, and Bell was full of doubts, what happened to the Vic tribe in such a long time?
