"Go in, hurry up!"

In the territory of the Snow Fox Tribe, the armed men of the Turan family brutally dragged several miniature Snow Fox Species into the room, and then Balzac, Celti and Hedilyn, who had a broken arm, Hedilyn was not in a very good state after receiving a blow from the Snow Knight, and she was coughing all the time on the way to being dragged over, occasionally spitting out one or two mouthfuls of bloodshot spit, and seeing that Celti next to her was very pale.

This room seems to be a utility room used to store items in the Snow Fox Tribe, and now it is just right to serve as a cell for them, and some distance back from this room to the depths of the Snow Fox tribe is the quarantine area that Dahl had set up before.

Balzac covered the wound of his broken arm and glanced hatefully at the member of the Turan family who walked out of the room, he glanced at the slumping Dahl patriarch behind him, and said with some disbelief,

"How dare the Turan family?! Is he going to wipe out your entire tribe because you sheltered Miss Valentina? Wouldn't they be afraid of being enemies of other subhuman tribes if they openly attacked one tribe, so stupid! ”

Zhu Na put the small wooden basket in her hand on the ground, and looked at the hopeless Dahl patriarch with some worry, she was very anxious but there was nothing she could do, it was not too far from the quarantine area, she could even faintly hear the screams of the infected dead and rotten patients, this desperate situation made her suddenly want to cry, she didn't understand how the situation could be so bad.

The Dahl patriarch, who had been stunned for a long time, let out a long sigh, shook his head and said in a low voice,

"Where is it so simple, young man, you can say that the Turan gang is vile and despicable, but you can't call them stupid... Hey, it's really bad luck, the sky is going to kill my snow fox species, ancestors, is this the price we paid for the moon princess? Can... Tribesmen, they're innocent..."

Balzac turned his head in disbelief to look at Patriarch Dahl, not understanding what he meant, but seeing Dahl look up sadly, he saw that in the small room where the utensils were stored were piled up with a number of sparkling ores, which were very lustrous and catchy even in the daytime.

"Young man, do you know the Moonstone?"

"Moonstone?"

Balzac looked at the rough minerals stored around the room, and although there was still some distance from the expensive processed jewelry sold on the market, he could barely recognize that the thing stored in this room was moonstone, a decorative ore that was quite expensive in the north.

"How could I not know that the price of this thing is very high in the North, wait, you mean that his action on you has something to do with Moonstone?"

Patriarch Dahl nodded, but quickly shook his head and asked Balzac,

"Do you know why the Moon Princess is called the Moon Princess? These honorific titles were not given to them by the King of the Phoenix, but were given honorific titles by the Roll Clan after they each obtained their fiefdoms. Among them, the Moon Princess was honored because she loved the moonlight alone, and this mineral that emitted the light of the moon certainly won her favor. Otherwise, why was Princess Moon's fortress built in the northernmost part of the northern realm, far from the populace, because it was rich in minerals and would produce many of her favorite gems..."

Balzac opened his mouth, finally understanding why there were so many minerals near the snowflake fortress where the Turan family lived, and it happened that the backbone of the Turan family was mining, and the "moonstone" was extremely expensive because it was only produced in that vicinity.

Just when Balzac was shocked, Dahl's voice followed,

"Our Snow Fox Species has a Moonstone Deposit in the Snowflake Fortress for generations, and because our ancestors are Moon Princess's genus, we often offer her favorite Moonstone ornaments. About half a year ago, the Turan family's mineral survey team suddenly came to our door and wanted to mine the moonstone minerals in our clan, but we sternly refused. ”

"Although we snow fox species are not born, we have a good relationship with many tribes around us, and I thought about giving you to them to take care of before. The Turan family probably took this into account and took the initiative to give up the pursuit of our moonstone mine, and their patriarch also sent us many apologies for this incident to express their apologies for the offense, and the messenger tasted very friendly... Heh, that's why we didn't take this matter to heart at the time, it passed quickly, and we even left a good impression on them, otherwise why would I think of contacting the Turan family first because of the epidemic in the clan? ”

"Unexpectedly, letting the Turan family know that there is a plague in our clan is the stupidest decision I have ever made. In order to prevent other tribes in the vicinity from being infected by the epidemic, I told the other tribes not to go to our territory until we reached out to them to declare the disease cured... Hey, I didn't expect that the Turan family killed two birds with one stone, they not only wanted Valentina, but also our moonstone. ”

"When he crushed the medicine we brought back, I, an old antique who had not been out of the tribe for a long time, realized that the Turan family was so ruthless that they wanted to get rid of my entire clan..."

In these ancient subhuman tribes, their methods of dealing with the epidemic are still primitive, once they are sure that the epidemic cannot be handled, they will take the initiative to cut off contact with other tribes, so that even if one tribe is wiped out because of the epidemic, it will not harm the other tribes, and once all the people in the tribe die of disease, it will not be long before the epidemic will disappear.

In fact, during the historical spread of Schwali's dead rot, this treatment was also able to suppress the spread of the disease, but at that time, it was during the war with Nari, because the war mobilized the resources of the whole country and people continued to die, this unprecedented flow of people, a large number of deaths and extremely poor sanitary conditions eventually led to the epidemic getting out of control and turning into an uncontrollable horror disaster.

So even if the entire snow fox species dies of disease now, the other tribes will not think of the Turan family.

But Balzac was still a little incredulous, he looked at the moonstones on the table, and said,

"But what's the use of them taking the moonstone, this thing is at most used to make ornaments, will they be so short of money?"

"Well, I don't know what they're doing with it, but I did sense a strong desire for this stone among the Turanian people who came to negotiate..."

At this moment, Hedilyn, who was lying in the corner of the room, suddenly sneered and spoke,

"Ahem, how could the animals of the Turan family not know the characteristics of the snow fox species, the people who made the decision were hiding in the snowflake fortress, and the people who came to deliver the letter and survey were just their minions, and they had no concept of the whole thing, even if the snow fox species could smell it, it was just the smell of those messengers, they probably really thought that the family wanted to be friends with the snow fox species..."

"As for Moonstone... Ahem, I don't know much about it, but it seems to have something to do with the eldest lady, she resurrected Hodor at the time, and I heard the name of Moonstone in the deal that the family made with that mysterious person, and since then, all the snowflake knights that the family has spent a lot of money training have become the kind of monsters that can fly..."

If Fisher had been here, he might have immediately known what the context of the matter was, and he was right to guess that the Turan family's deal with the Cardinals was not just about resurrecting Helldor, they saw something more valuable in it, and that was the Cardinal.

The cardinal made a good cardinal for the Turan family, and the Turan family also provided the cardinal with a stable source of moonstones and funds, which was originally a mutually beneficial transaction, but the moonstones supplied by the Turan family for the cardinal stopped producing, which directly led to the cardinal's lack of raw materials to make other battle cardinals after the war with Erwind, and was finally attacked and killed by Erwind...

The cardinal's moonstone cost more than the Turan family could have imagined, and his large orders for Snowflake Knight hollowed out the last bit of minerals, which led them to start looking for other sources of moonstone minerals.

Dahl sighed in despair, the hair on his body was curled up a little and looked quite messy, he covered his furry face with some reproach, and said,

"It's my fault, if it's a little more careful... It was only because my four children and my wife were infected with the epidemic and wailing in pain in bed that I came out in such a hurry to ask for medicine... I... I am ashamed of my people. ”

Balzac pursed his lips, sighed helplessly and sat on the ground, the worst thing in this world is nothing more than that the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the hemp rope was broken in a small place, Ming Mingdal has been overwhelmed by this epidemic that is about to be wiped out, and he has met such a Turan family who covets his own treasure with bad intentions, no matter whether Dahl took Valentina away because of compassion or not, they will be caught by the Turan family The flaw of the epidemic.

A little self-blame and guilt in the small room certainly could not dispel the gloom that hung over the entire Snow Fox tribe, and the patients infected with the dead rot in the entire Snow Fox tribe were wailing and crying, but the armed men of the Turan family on duty did not seem to hear it at all, but stood boredly holding the musket and chatting and joking in the empty Snow Fox tribe.

Until, in the distance, a lonely figure faintly walked in the white snow.

It was a strange figure in a black trench coat, he was lonely and walking in this world, but I don't know if it was an illusion, the figure was hazy and constantly flickering in the wind and snow, obviously not fast, but soon approached the quiet snow fox tribe, the Turan family personnel on duty just squinted at the figure in the distance, and the next moment, the strange person instantly arrived at the door of the tribe.

The strange figure wore a bird's beak mask on his face, his body was thin but he didn't feel cold at all, and he didn't make any other movements after coming to the tribe of the snow fox species, but he just looked at the quiet atmosphere, but the moment the guards saw the figure, the cold hair on his body immediately turned upside down, causing them to scratch their arms in confusion.

"Hey, where are you a traveler? Hurry back, this is the territory of the Turan family, you are not welcome! If you don't leave, I'm going to be rude to you! ”

The two guards walked forward with muskets in their arms, and waved their hands at the fragile and thin lost passenger, as if they were going to teach the poor lost man a lesson in the next moment, but before they could approach it, the beak figure suddenly looked at them,

"It seems... It's a pity that he's already on the snowy mountain. ”

"Huh? Your nerves are talking to yourself..."

The words of the personnel on duty came to an abrupt end, leaving only the red wind and snow still there.
