Chapter 103: The Mysterious Caravan
The elder bowed slightly on his horse, clenched his fists and asked, "Why did the three of you spy on our caravan and refuse to go away? Don't you know the rules of the grassland?"
Although the elder acted politely, his words were aggressive, and his eyes were slightly paused on the three of them.
"This uncle. The three of us went to Yanhui Guanhu Market to sell these goods. Lin Xiao said and patted his bulging bearskin bag back with his hand.
"It turned out to be peers, and we also went to Yanhuiguan to do business, so let's say goodbye, and we will meet in the mutual market. The elder arched his hand at Lin Xiao and the three of them, seemingly saying goodbye to the three of them, but in fact, he gave an eviction order to the three of them.
"Uncle, we also want to join your caravan. Lin Xiao hurriedly signaled the old man not to leave.
"This is not good, we are not a temporary mixed caravan, we are a family caravan, and we will not take in the living. The elder refused.
"Uncle, you can help, we are really afraid of being robbed. Along the way, we met three groups of robbers, but fortunately, our brothers and horses were quick and escaped, and we really couldn't stand the toss anymore. We are not in vain, please accept this. After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he reached out and took out something from his arms.
As soon as they saw this thing, the surrounding orc warriors let out soft exclamations.
This is one of the dowry gifts that the goblin king Baga II Torin Xiao asked him to bring when he went to propose marriage to Lea, a golden crown of hair studded with rubies, shining with gold and treasure, and exquisite.
At the same time, both Inu Lang and Yang Nan involuntarily held their breath, quietly clenched the weapons in their hands, and were ready to burst out at any time.
In this wild land, there is no distinction between good and evil, the caravan is a thief when he moves his sword, and a thief who carries a package is a merchant.
Lin Xiao was also quietly looking at the expressions of these people around him, he took out this treasure, that is, he wanted to test the other party's reaction, if the other party moved evil thoughts, he was confident that it was okay to retreat with the strength of the three of them, if the other party did not move evil thoughts, it means that it is a serious caravan, so that he can rest assured.
He saw that although the eyes of the warriors around him were shining when they looked at the things in their hands, there was no malice or evil thoughts in their eyes.
The elder's eyes were obviously stunned, and he exclaimed, "This is the craft of the goblin." ”
"Uncle really has a good eye, can we join the gang based on this?" Lin Xiao asked.
The elder pursed his lips slightly, and said with a look of regret and expectation: "I'm sorry, it's our rule not to admit people into the gang, but I'm interested in your things." Now we have urgent matters and have no time to inquire, after returning to the customs of the wild goose, if you really have the sincerity to sell this thing, please come to the Hongtai Inn to find me, just say to find the Tianmao caravan. I promise to buy this thing for the best price. If you have anything else good, I can buy it too. ”
"In that case, let's talk about it. Lin Xiao was not reluctant, and withdrew the golden crown in his hand into the leather package behind him.
"I'm sorry!" the elder nodded, flicked his horse's head, and with a lift of his hand, he was about to lead the orc warriors back to the convoy.
"Captain, Captain!" Suddenly, a horse rushed out of the convoy in the distance, shouting as he galloped.
Everyone couldn't help but stop again.
In an instant, the knight had galloped up, and while reining in his horse, he said loudly to the elder, "Captain, the elder wants to meet these young men. ”
"Oh!" the elder looked surprised and asked eagerly, "Elder...... Is the elder awake?"
"Yes, when I woke up just now, I immediately knew that there was someone nearby, so I was anxious to invite me. The knight who had come to report said hurriedly.
"This ......" The elder turned around and looked at Lin Xiao and the three of them with suspicious eyes, his expression became respectful, and he gestured in the direction of the convoy in the distance, "Three, the leader of our caravan has an invitation, and what you ask for may have a turnaround." ”
Lin Xiao exchanged a look with Gou Lang and Yang Nan, and smiled faintly: "Great, then let's go." ”
After that, Lin Xiao urged his mount to get off his crotch and galloped towards the convoy lined up in the distance, and the dog lang and the sheep man followed closely, unlike Lin Xiao's breezy and light, their faces were tense and vigilant.
The elder beckoned the warriors to follow, while looking at Lin Xiao's back, and involuntarily nodded slightly, this young man has an indescribable strong temperament and absolute self-confidence despite the fact that thousands of people have been there, which makes people quietly impressed.
Twenty or so carts full of goods face outward, forming a large circle with a diameter of more than ten zhang, surrounding a horse-drawn carriage with people in the middle, and the curtain is tightly closed, and the lines are not exposed.
"Elder, the young men have arrived. The old man dismounted and walked to the front of the carriage, bowed and whispered, very respectful.
There was no movement in the car, but Lin Xiao, who was standing in front of the car, found that the closed curtain was gently lifted to a corner, a very small corner.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao only felt that his head was "buzzing", and it seemed that a mysterious force had forcibly rushed into his mind.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt that his calm mind was boiling, and suddenly set off a stormy wave, shattering this mysterious power, and at the same time, shattering a piece of sacred memory fragment that was floating in the middle of the world, and I don't know where it came from.
"Ahh
"Huh!" came a soft cry of surprise from inside the car, and the voice was extremely old.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing Lin Xiao's strange appearance, the already tense dog Lang and the sheep man stepped forward to protect Lin Xiao while shouting, and suddenly drew their swords.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ......" There was a sound of swords unsheathed, and the surrounding beast warriors pointed their weapons at Lin Xiao and the others.
"Be bold, dare to be rough in front of the elder's car!" the elder guarded the car with his sword and scolded Lin Xiao and the three of them angrily.
"Put down your arms, I'm fine. Lin Xiao took a few breaths and pressed the sword in the hands of Dog Lang and Yang Nan with his hand.
At this time, Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised, he didn't know where the power that forcibly invaded his mind just now came from, whether it was friend or foe, and he was happy that it was crooked, and this power unexpectedly shattered a memory fragment in his mind.
The information contained in this memory fragment made him a little unable to come back to his senses for a while, it turned out that there was such a way to improve the strength of the beast race, which was really incredible.
With a "brush", the thick curtain was abruptly opened.
Inside the car, sitting cross-legged sat a thin old woman, her face was full of wrinkles, she was extremely old, her face was like gold paper, her breath was disordered, she was reclining on a low table, clutching her chest with one hand, obviously seriously injured.
"Elder!" there was a voice of concern all around.
The old woman waved her hand to stop the samurai who were about to come forward to help, although she was a seriously injured old woman, but there was a special majesty in her gestures, which made people feel intimidating.
At this time, her pair of golden pupils, which were already cloudy, were bursting with extremely sharp gazes, staring at Lin Xiao's eyes.
Lin Xiao only felt a tingling pain in front of his eyes, and involuntarily squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't avoid the old woman's gaze.
He felt that although the old woman's gaze was as sharp as a sword, there was no malice, more excitement that could not be hidden.
"You...... You're a Tiger Clan!" The old woman's voice was surprisingly low.
"Exactly. Lin Xiao didn't want to hide it at all, and his intuition told him that he shouldn't hide his identity in front of this old man.
"I see, I see, ha...... Haha!" the old woman suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Poof!" Before laughing, the old woman suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the curtain was red.
"Elder, take care!" the surrounding warriors cried out in pain, but none of them dared to step forward without permission.
"Old man, you seem to be seriously injured, so don't get too excited. Lin Xiao said softly.
"Hehe, the old body is excited, although I was seriously injured this time, it was worth it to meet you. The old woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her cuffs, but her eyes were always staring at Lin Xiao.
"Me?" Lin Xiao was surprised.
"Yes. The old woman nodded, and then struggled to order the beast warriors gathered around the car: "Everyone retreat to the outside of the car, stand facing out, and don't turn your head without my order." ”
None of the samurai had any objections, and after agreeing, they withdrew one after another, and the cart in a circle was about ten feet away from the carriage in the center.
At Lin Xiao's signal, Dog Lang and Yang Nan also retreated.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Xiao and the old woman were left in the circle.
"Wind screen!" the old woman suddenly cheered up, spat out two words hoarsely from her shriveled lips, her eyes froze, and her right hand quickly pinched a finger.
As soon as the words fell, only a "whirring" sound was heard, Lin Xiao only felt that the air around him shook slightly, and a whirlwind that landed appeared out of thin air, enveloping the carriage in its entirety at once.
"Spell! you...... You are human. Lin Xiao was shocked.
"Don't ...... Don't be nervous!" After performing a spell, the old woman seemed to be very struggling, she leaned on the low table, took a few breaths, and gently waved her hand to Lin Xiao, "I'm not human, but I do have human blood in my body, and I'm a half-orc." ”
"Half-orc!" Lin Xiao's eyes widened.
The old woman exhaled a long breath and sat up straight, and a bitter smile appeared on the old face of the ravine: "Our nation has a lot of contact with humans, and we know that the gap between the beast race that has lost its inheritance and the human race is as big as a world of mud. But we've always dreamed of reviving the orcs. I don't know from which generation, we came up with a solution, which is to mix with humans in large numbers, and select hybrids who can learn human martial arts and spells to focus on. ”
"Active assimilation! Lin Xiao was shocked in his heart.
The old woman nodded, and continued: "The percentage of half-bloods who have martial arts or magic cultivation talents is much lower than that of pure-blooded humans. Therefore, every half-breed with this kind of talent is the object of our clan's full cultivation. And we, half-breeds, have half human blood in our bodies, and because of our childhood education, we completely identify ourselves as beasts. ”
"What kind of nation are you, and you have such foresight. Lin Xiao couldn't help asking.
Judging from Lin Xiao's contact, most of the beast clans are relatively simple-minded and not good at such strict planning.
"The old man's surname is Leopard, and he is the seventh elder of the Leopard Clan's Money Leopard Department. The old woman puffed up her chest and said proudly.
