"Octavir?" Tang Jie rubbed his eyes, he never thought that he would be able to see Octavir in this place!

Octavir's whole body floated on the water, hazy as a fairy, she looked around for a moment, and frowned, "It's me, Athos, why are you in this place?"

Tang Jie was used to Octavir calling himself Athos, and he laughed: "I should ask you this sentence, why are you here?"

Octavir's figure shook for a moment, like a holographic stereoscopic projection that suddenly appeared in waves, and she said, "Fiona told me that you have disappeared in the Noah Continent, and I followed your breath to come here. ”

Tang Jieqi said: "You still have such a ability, where can you find me from tens of thousands of nautical miles?"

Octavir was silent for a moment, then said faintly, "No one else, but you, you are unique, I can find you wherever you are, my dear." ”

Tang Jie felt strange in his heart when he heard this, he knew that this woman loved Athos deeply, not him.

Fortunately, Tang Jie's current trouble made him have no time and mind to eat this kind of dry vinegar, and he smiled: "It's great that you're here, hurry up and get me out of this ghost place." ”

Octavir didn't immediately agree, but looked around strangely: "It doesn't seem that there is any powerful magic array set up here, why are you trapped in this place and can't get out?"

Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "Could it be that Fiona only told you that I was missing, but didn't tell you that I was seriously injured?"

Octavir shook her head.

Tang Jie spread his hands: "Okay, if you want to hear the story, get me out of this hellish place first, I'm annoyed to death staying here, who knows what's under the water!"

Octavir shook her head, "No, I can't get you out right now. ”

Tang Jie asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Octavir asked, "Didn't you notice that this is not my real person?"

Tang Jie was taken aback, and after a closer look, he saw that Octavier's body was flowing with extremely fine ripples, like liquid flowing, and he said with a smile: "What's going on? Is it magic?"

Octavir nodded, "Mirror Image." ”

Tang Jie sighed, and remembered the fact that he didn't know how to use a little magic, he shook his head: "What's the matter with that blue ball of light that flew just now?"

"It is the water elemental that my doppelganger has split into, and they will spread in all directions, like a carpet searching for your breath and traces, and as long as they are found, the water elemental will continue to pursue, and the rest of the water elemental will follow suit. Octavir explained lightly.

"It's really magical...... Tang Jie surrounded Octavier's body, stretched out his hand and touched it, sure enough, he felt that his fingertips were cold, slippery and wet, and because of his touch, Octavir's body also produced a trace of ripples, and his whole body shook slightly, he sighed, "Interesting, really interesting." ”

Tang Jie asked, "Then when can you come?"

Octavir thought for a moment and said, "Two days at the earliest!"

Tang Jie was stunned: "It took so long? You took me back to Alcatraz Island from Mosanbik before, and it didn't take so long!"

Octavir said, "I don't dare to fly in the air, because I feel a powerful aura of magic hovering over the continent about five hundred miles away from me, and if I use large-scale magic to get me to come quickly, it is very likely to attract their attention." I don't know if this magical aura is friend or foe, so I don't dare to act rashly. ”

Tang Jie's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "You think very thoughtfully!"

In Tang Jie's eyes, Octavier is more like an iceberg beauty, usually unsmiling, and extremely strong, looking very scheming, I didn't expect to have such a delicate side.

But what Tang Jie didn't know was that the mermaid had an almost infinite life, she was used to seeing the ugliness of the human world, and she was used to seeing the deceit between people, but she was extremely strong, and she didn't need to use tricks or scheming to calculate anything.

This is what the so-called great powers have no strategy, and pure strength can overwhelm all strategies.

But just because Octaviel doesn't like to calculate doesn't mean she doesn't have scheming.

After Tang Jie finished praising it, he pointed to the four corpses floating on the water: "You can also see it, the people here are not friendly, if you come too late, I guess you won't be able to see me in the future." ”

Octavier's expression froze, and two faint eyebrows frowned, she had spent more than a hundred years waiting quietly for Athos in the coffin-like icicles, and now she finally arrived, she would never allow anyone to take Athos away from her side again!

Octavir didn't say anything more, but there was a hint of sinister air between her eyebrows, and then her body shook, and the mirror doppelganger slowly turned into a ball of water without any outline in the water prison, and then fell down, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Tang Jie saw Octavir disappear, he looked around, sighed, closed his eyes, and seized the time to recuperate from the injuries on his body.

While Tang Jie and Octavir were meeting in the water prison, there was a heated argument among the leaders of the Tribal Federation.

The controversy began over how to resettle the refugees, and at first, Van Deo of the Zap tribe pressed for a large part of the refugees to be resettled in his tribal territory, while the patriarchs of the other tribes were keenly aware of the man's scheme.

This bastard wants to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow these refugees and increase the population of their tribe!

For the tribes of the Southern Continent, backwardness and barbarism are the biggest bottlenecks restricting their development and growth, so they can only develop and grow by constantly annexing other tribes and letting them dissolve into their own tribes.

In a sense, the deformed monster of the Tribal Federation is more like a delicate compromise and union between several large tribes, where no one can eat anyone completely, and there is a terrible Aden by the side that can eat all their tribes.

Aden is tightly oppressed, so the four tribes are hugging each other tightly, if Aden is loosely oppressed, then they will be filthy and intrigued.

Before launching a surprise sweep of the scattered tribes of the southern continent, Aden first threw an olive branch to the tribal federation and signed a three-year peace agreement with them.

Most of the people in the southern continent are straight-hearted and keep their promises, and they also feel that a decent and powerful guy like Aden will not brazenly tear his face and unilaterally tear up the peace agreement.

What's more, the leaders of the Tribal Federation feel very good about themselves, and they are not at a disadvantage in the previous contest with Aden, and even have achieved some good results in some local battles.

Therefore, they themselves feel that the other party has no way to defeat them, how can they brazenly tear up the agreement?

Of course, all this was planned by Aden, and he hid the trump card he had carefully built, in order to pull out the last nail in the southern continent in one fell swoop in the near future.

In less than three months after the external pressure was reduced, the vigilance of the tribal federation plummeted, and at first they were still staring at Aden's movements, but as time passed, the leaders of the tribes turned their eyes to their companions.

Several tribes quarreled over how to distribute the refugees, several patriarchs were red-faced, and even the high priest spoke ill of him.

After Tang Jie and his party entered the Tribal Federation, there were several waves of refugees pouring into the Tribal Federation, and these people added up to four or five thousand people, which together could be regarded as a not small tribe, if any tribe could swallow these populations, then this tribe would definitely be even stronger.

What does a person with power want more? More power! What does a powerful tribe want most? A stronger tribe!

This is a universal truth, even in the wild southern continent.

The appearance of refugees was just a fuse, but what really made these leaders blush and thick-necked was about the disposal of Tang Jie and his party.

"Goddess Mavi, let's put aside the question of what to do with these compatriots, and let's move our attention to another, more important issue!" Harut of the Clay tribe is a true wise man, and he sees these tribal leaders fighting for petty profits, ignoring another terrible fact, "Doesn't anyone think about why there are so many refugees here?"

As soon as he said this, the leaders of the quarrel fell silent and looked at Harut with their eyes brushed.

Harut shook his arms and exclaimed, "Where did these refugees come from? Why did they flee to this place? Did they suffer a terrible locust plague? A terrible flood? Or did the Pounds go deep into the jungles of the Southern Continent?"

The goal of Harut's series of rhetorical questions is very obvious, almost not directly saying that Aden is the culprit, but the leaders in the field have been blinded by the dividends of thousands of people for a while, they don't want to believe that the war is only one step away from them, and there is no war burning within the range of their sight, and some of them are willing to be an ostrich and bury their heads in the sand.

Van Dior sneered and said, "Harut, you mean that Aden has already torn up the agreement?"

Harut said in a deep voice: "Yes, just as the outer continenter who came to report the news said, Aden has torn up the agreement and is ready to attack us!"
