Chapter 47: The Crisis of the Beeks

I heard that he was the prince of the Vic tribe, so he had to show his attitude towards the prince. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the two of them calmed down and carefully examined the boy. His face was white, his eyes were bright, and he had the air of a northern man between his eyebrows, and although he was young, his physique was much stronger than that of his peers. Although little is known about the Vic tribe, it is clear from the command of the Vic steppe that the Vic tribe is not an ordinary tribe.

"I've heard of the Vic tribe before, but it's far away, and I don't know much about it. Gary said.

"With such a noble status, how could you come here to ask for help?" Bell also became serious, and he realized that the boy in front of him with clear and bright eyes was their first employer in the true sense of the word.

"Before you get into the commission, I think you should know about the Vic tribe. Dewar took out a map of the kingdom and drew a circle on the top of the map, "The Vic steppe is located in the northern province of the Scanian kingdom of Aiza Province, that is, on the border of the northern part of the kingdom, it is surrounded by rich mineral resources, but it is under the jurisdiction of various tribes on the grassland, and these tribes are ruled by a large tribe, that is, the Vic tribe, and even the steppe is named after them. About a thousand years ago, this grassland area was a place of strife, until the appearance of the ancestor of the Bik tribe, the Great Warrior of Bikgundra, unified all the tribes at that time, so in the Bik tribe, a statue of this great ancestor was erected for future generations to see. You should also be able to tell from this little gentleman that the Beeks are born warriors!"

"What kind of difficulties will such a powerful clan have that require the Knights' Guild to help?" said Bell and Garay, feeling a little puzzled.

"Prince Hatu, please describe the commission again!" said Dewar, pouring some wine for the group.

......Seeing that Dewar strongly recommended the two men, Hatu was relieved, and he tried to sort out what was happening in the tribe, but judging by his expression, he still seemed to have some lingering feelings about those memories. After a while, Hatu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "We Bik clan are indeed born with great strength, but now, all the people are ...... It's crazy!"

"Crazy?" said Bell and Gary, looking puzzled.

"It all started one day half a year ago, and the Vic Savannah has always had a wonderful scenery that attracts many travelers since ancient times. Although our steppe warriors are brave and good at fighting, they are also very hospitable. Three travelers came from the tribe that day, and we entertained them as usual. After a few days, some of the clansmen suddenly felt that their bodies had lost their strength, and it was difficult for them to lift even some ordinary knives and guns. At first, I thought they were infected with a strange disease, but the clan doctors couldn't detect anything. It didn't take long for this phenomenon to happen to more and more people, which caused panic among everyone. ”

"In other words, you suspect that the loss of strength of the clan has something to do with the three travelers?"

"Quite the opposite!" said Hatu excitedly, "they have regained the strength of their people, and this is the beginning of the nightmare! At first, we were skeptical, but as the disease spread, we had to ask them to treat our people. You know, for our Bak tribe, strength is more important than life!"

"Since you have regained your strength, it should also be a benefactor, how can it be a nightmare?"

"Because he is not healing at all, but capturing our people! After the first tribesman was cast by him, although his strength was restored, he seemed to have no consciousness of his own, his eyes were dull every day, and he kept whispering something in his mouth, and even the relatives around him couldn't remember it. The clansmen's belief in power has also reached the point of madness, and even after casting the spell, more and more clansmen are still receiving treatment from the sorcerer. ”

"Then the wizard took control of your people through healing?"

"Yes, he founded the so-called Cult of Hercules, and all the people who have been healed have become his subordinates. They don't know any relatives or friends, and every day they go around in droves to preach the power of wizards, and if anyone questions them, they will be immediately besieged, even my uncle Gosan and Leta, the strongest warrior of the Biks, have joined them, and they have locked up all the people who resisted!"

"It's ironic that a wizard actually founded the Hercules Cult!"

"Now those people are recruiting others to join the Hercules Cult every day, and their influence has even spread to some small towns in the surrounding areas. They also said that Bikgondra was a great liar and knocked down his statue!"

"Isn't it?!" In this day and age, faith is very important, and it seems crazy to push the statues of ancestors to the ground.

"Has the strength of the people been restored?

"Not fully recovered, the sorcerer had to cast spells on his people every once in a while to maintain their power, and as a result, these people embraced Hercules even more. And the patriarch, that is, my grandfather, because the people who did not want to give in were locked up, he was weak and ...... I was taken away too!"

The patriarch was also captured, this incident is not simple, Bell thought for a while and asked, "Then how did you escape?"

"I ...... I wanted to rescue my grandfather, but I couldn't beat them at all, and I was almost caught by them when I escaped, and my sister arrived in time to rescue me, but ...... But she ......" Speaking of that scene, Hatu's tears could not stop flowing, but he immediately remembered that he was still carrying the fate of the tribe at this moment, and immediately wiped his eyes, and continued, "My sister asked me to go to the Knight Guild for help, and I jumped on the train carrying the goods and escaped, but because I was injured, and I didn't ...... for a long time Without eating, I passed out on the train and woke up at the station in the city of Gnorra. As soon as I got off the train and walked out of the station, I found that the money and belongings I had with me were suddenly missing, but fortunately I met Mr. Dewar, and he quickly helped me find them!" After saying this, Hatu blushed a little, because he felt that he had fainted at the critical moment, and he did not look like a man at all.

Bell and Garay felt the same way, and they also learned the skills of Dewar at the station. "And what do you need us to do?" Bell asked.

Hatu suddenly bowed deeply to the two of them and said loudly: "In Lower Bikhatu, on behalf of the Bik tribe, I ask Mr. Bell and Mr. Garay to rescue my people!"

"Good!" Gary exclaimed, his blood boiling after hearing Hatu's story.

But Bell didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a while, pulled Dewar aside, and whispered: "Mr. Dewar, the two of us are just Green Star Knights, although the previous remuneration is quite meager, but it won't make such a big move all at once, right?"

Dewar said nonchalantly: "I already know everything he said, of course, I let you accept the commission after careful review, will the association let you die in vain? Not to mention that the so-called Hercules Cult is just a bit of a shock for ordinary people, and for you knights, it's not a piece of cake?"

"No, no, no, I find it strange that with such a large-scale cult incident, why didn't you go to the kingdom army for help, but instead came to the Knight Association?"

"It's not convenient for me to explain this to you, but you'll know when you get there!" Dewar was a little impatient, "Do you accept this task? If you don't accept me, you will have to assign it to someone else, by the way, the task reward is about ten times the deposit, what a waste of my kindness......"

Ten times?!!Bell swallowed, all the doubts left behind, "I'll take it!" he nodded again and again, wagging faster than a dog's tail.

"That's right! Prince Hatu is a noble prince, I don't want to hand him over to those old fritters, you are my valued people, don't live up to expectations, and behave well!" Dewar ordered some more wine, looking very satisfied, but maybe only for the thirty percent commission......

In this way, Bell and Garay took on the first official assignment of their knightly career.
