Chapter 53: Ash
"Guest, can I see your merchandise?"
The captain of the garrison was polite, but he still had doubts in his heart.
Zhao Wen casually took out a material card and threw it to the other party, without the source power, it was absolutely impossible to unseal the material card.
The captain of the garrison took the supply card and looked closely.
The whiteboard material card, without any pattern, what kind of items are sealed in, the cover will appear corresponding.
This is a sealed meat supply card, and the surface is a large piece of bright red meat that has been processed.
The white-level material card can be sealed into a maximum of 500 catties of meat pieces, which is already the limit of the material card, and if you want to seal more meat pieces, you need a more advanced material card.
Low-level material cards are cheaper, and high-level material cards are more expensive......
In order to save money, Zhao Wen selected all the white-level material cards, and he took out more than a dozen material cards for sealing fresh meat, put them in front of the garrison captain, and said: "Just like the card that sealed the dough cake just now, this is the card that seals fresh meat." ”
The captain of the garrison could sense that this thin card contained a very strange energy fluctuation.
He asked, "How can I release the materials sealed inside?" ”
Zhao Wen shook his head and said: "This is a special card, it is made with my hair and blood, which can only be used by me, and it is useless for others to get their hands on it." ”
"I see......"
The captain of the garrison nodded slightly, returned the material card to Zhao Wen, then bowed slightly, and made an inviting gesture: "Welcome to the Steelmane Tribe, our War Mother is waiting for you." ”
The War Mother is the helmsman of a clan.
Most of the tribes of the Arctic Lands are helmed by powerful women, a tradition that has been passed down for many years, dating back to the most glorious days of the Three Sisters.
Following the untrimmed path that was completely trodden by foot, he soon arrived at the garrison of the Steelmane Tribe.
In front of you were hundreds of wooden houses and tents, with spires and a high wall of spiked logs, and you could faintly see iron traps half-buried in the snow.
"Open the door!"
The giant gate, connected by round wooden rivets, was slowly lowered by four chains.
Two rows of heavily armed teams, neatly standing on either side, their weapons shining with cold light, this is the second line of defense of the Steelmane Tribe.
"Guest, please come in."
After the captain of the garrison communicated with him, he was about to take Zhao Wen and the others in, but he heard an angry voice next to him.
"Why should they go in and we have to wait here?"
"Yes, obviously we came first!"
A team dressed slightly differently from the steelmane tribe stepped out of a man with a strong body approaching two meters, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Zhao Wen noticed just now that this team was also dressed by the tribesmen of the Extremely Cold Land, but all of them had ice blue bow and arrow symbols on their clothes or bodies.
It should be the sign of a certain tribe.
The captain of the garrison turned dark and said, "We didn't invite you here, you can go back if you don't want to wait!" ”
Obviously, the tribes of the Arctic Lands did not have a good relationship with each other.
The leader of this team walked out, and said in a light tone, "Is this the hospitality of the Steelmane Tribe?" ”
This is an extremely beautiful woman, with a slender and slender figure, ice blue eyes, fair skin, and a delicate leather armor that adds a bit of heroism to it.
As she spoke, she looked directly at the captain of the garrison, and did not get angry, but it made the captain of the garrison unconsciously lower his head.
Behind her, she carried a crystal clear ice bow, and the mysterious magic runes emitted a faint light, wandering over the bow.
As the captain of the garrison of the Steelmane Tribe, he didn't want to lose his momentum, so he quickly raised his head, but when he looked into the other party's eyes, he unconsciously shifted his gaze.
He said in a respectful tone: "Your Excellency Avarosa's War Mother, we didn't mean to do this, this gentleman is the honored guest of our clan, and the War Mother said that you can't slack off. ”
"Is that so?"
Ash's eyes were calm, and he was not dissatisfied with the attitude of the Steelmane Tribe, but nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait." ”
"Mother of War, we have been waiting for two days, and the food we carry is not enough for the return journey, they are deceiving people too much!"
There was someone behind him with a face full of anger, and the weapon in his hand was faintly waving, and he was being left aside so scorned, no one could bear it.
Ash turned, and the commotion suddenly stopped, enough to show her might in this team.
She said to the captain of the garrison, "Please also tell her that we have come with sincerity and hope to meet with her." ”
"I will, Your Excellency the War Mother."
The captain of the garrison saluted slightly, and then walked into the tribe.
Zhao Wen didn't speak, followed behind him, tilted his head slightly to look to the side, and his eyes happened to meet Ash's.
Ash looked at Zhao Wen with ice-blue eyes, curious, but politely did not stop him, just nodded slightly.
Zhao Wen also showed a polite smile.
"Master Tang, wipe your saliva......"
Beside him, the third child suddenly said loudly.
Zhao Wen subconsciously raised his hand, and suddenly thought that he was not drooling at all, and immediately glared at him.
Ash also heard this teasing, and the corners of his mouth curled up and chuckled, without the intention of being annoyed.
However, the group of people in the back team suddenly looked unkind, and stared at Zhao Wen tightly, as if they had great hatred.
Ash?
Zhao Wen didn't expect to meet each other here, remembering that the last time they met was in the Alliance Canyon, and the wrist hao he chose played against the local ice shooter......
The young girl, who had become the leader of Avarosa at a young age, had the belief in the peaceful unification of Freljord, and traveled among the tribes to accept those who shared the same beliefs.
So, is Ash trying to recruit the Steelmane Tribe?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Wen understood the other party's intention, but he was not optimistic about Ash's behavior of recruiting the Steelmane Tribe.
Just a moment of contact and small talk with the captain of the garrison, he could roughly feel the style of this tribe.
Savage, belligerent!
Such a tribe would never agree with Ash's idea of peaceful unification, and in their understanding, the weak should perish, and only the strong deserve all resources.
No wonder it will be left to dry for two days, and the warmother of the Steelmane Tribe probably has no intention of seeing Ash at all.
Within the tribe.
Torches held up by iron rods spread out, and in the flickering flames, it seemed that magical power had been applied, making the overall temperature in the tribe not as cold as the outside world.
Some of the elderly, women and children were able to withstand the cold, and were engaged in logistical tasks, such as skinning the prey brought back by the warriors of the clan and carefully separating the various parts.
For tribes with scarce supplies, there is no waste on the prey, and even the bones can be broken into powder to make fuel for fire.
The largest building in the center is a house made of black rock.
Even the War Mother did not have the luxury to live in the palace.
This snowy cliff is just a stronghold for the Steelmane tribe, and when winter is over, they move to warmer places to look for prey tracks.
Wherever the prey is, they will migrate.
"Welcome to the Steelmane Tribe, Outsider."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged woman, not as graceful and luxurious as she imagined, but with a strong body, comparable to the appearance of a male warrior.
Zhao Wen bowed slightly and said politely: "Hello, Your Excellency Zhan Mother." ”
