84 gifts in bags
Marlowe didn't know such an old orc man in his memory, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The old orc was not angry, and still said happily, "Didn't you promise to give me a Moon Stone in the future, Chief of the Warcry Tribe?"
The other party's reminder immediately made Marlowe clear the identity of the comer, but the appearance of the other party made him unable to believe his eyes for a while, how did the black blade become like this, he was the deputy head of the grassland bandit mercenary group, the assassin who walked in the dark......
"Let's go over there and talk. Blackblade carried two heavy bags and walked into the distance.
Seeing that it was Blackblade, Marlowe motioned for Ray to stay, and then followed Blackblade to a small forest outside the village.
"Why are you here?
"Hehe, I just happened to pass by to see you and give you a little gift. Blackblade said and kicked the bag beside him.
Marlowe didn't believe that the other party was just passing by, the main reason must be for the moon stone, seeing the black blade's numb movements, Marlowe guessed that the other party must have used some kind of disguise spell. Kicked by the boots of the black blade, there was a muffled grunt in one bag, and the contents of the other bag immediately struggled desperately when they heard it, Marlowe asked curiously, "What is that?"
"Oh, two little beasts that you caught, I'm sure you'll like it. Blackblade said as he dragged the bag in front of Marlowe.
He was obviously not telling the truth, because from what Marlowe had observed, both bags were supposed to be filled with people. Glancing at the black blade, Marlowe reached out and opened a pocket, only to see a green orc head appear in front of him, before Marlowe could react, the green head slammed into Marlowe and wanted to escape, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied with ropes and he couldn't stand up at all.
The blade flashed, and the orc's head was cut off, and blood was spilled all over the ground.
"You ......"
"This is just a spy of the Great Chief, and if you kill it, you will kill it. Blackblade nonchalantly thrust the knife back into its scabbard.
The blood splashed on his face was still warm, Marlowe looked at the black blade in disbelief, and said in his heart that he was really careless just now, if the other party wanted to kill him, I am afraid that he would have easily succeeded a long time ago.
"Hehe, don't look at me like this, we are both people who swore to our ancestors, and I won't make a move on you. And I'm telling the truth, he's been following the people of the White Hoof tribe all this time, and I'm in a good mood today so I'll just clean him up. Blackblade's face was calm, as if he had just done something extremely ordinary.
"How do you know that he has been following the White Hoof tribe, and how do you know that I am here, and there are your people in this village?"
Marlowe didn't expect that the Great Chief had already extended his claws to the heads of the Whitehoof tribe, and what he didn't expect was that the claws of the Prairie Bandit Mercenary Group seemed to be longer and more secretive.
The Prairie Bandit Mercenary Regiment is an organization composed of scum of various races, so Marlowe can't tell whether the other party is planting here orcs or humans, but it is more likely to be orcs.
"No comment, now you can open another bag, I'm sure you'll love what's inside. By the way, the little wild cat inside can bite. Blackblade, of course, wouldn't answer Marlowe's question, he tugged at his wolfskin robe, and walked out into the snow. "Gone, remember to protect what you owe me. ”
Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, and the black blade quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a corpse on the vast ground, a bag containing an unknown person, and a somewhat distracted Marlowe.
Who are the Prairie Bandit Mercenary Groups, why are there their spies everywhere, I heard that their backers behind the scenes are the red-skinned orcs of Orem, but why don't they seem to be afraid of the Great Chief of Orem, what is the Black Blade trying to help him repeatedly, is it just the Moon Stone? No, it is not as simple as a Moon Stone!
Just as Marlowe was thinking, his foot was suddenly crushed by something, and he remembered that there was another bag containing a living person, so he quickly reached out to open the bag, and a head came out of the bag.
It was a very normal human female face, looking to be in her twenties, with blue eyes, small freckles on the wings of her nose and cheeks, jet-black hair that had been messed up and draped as she struggled, and her mouth gagged with a large mass of rags that could only whine.
What does Black Blade mean by this, what are you sending me a human woman for, to warm the bed?
Marlowe looked at the human girl a little overwhelmed, and Blackblade didn't tell him where he had caught the girl, nor why he had caught her. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know if he should let the girl go, but Blackblade shouldn't waste his energy doing something meaningless.
"Forget it, I'd better take you back first. Ignoring the girl's horrified look on her face, Marlowe put her back into the bag and carried her up.
In order to prevent the girl from escaping, Marlowe decided to quietly bring the human back to the village first, and wait for his own investigation to make a decision. As for why it wasn't brought back openly...... There are still more than 2,000 humans in this village, and if they see the tribal chief returning with a human girl who has been tied up, I don't know what those guys will think, what if someone wants to fight for their lives and play hero to save beauty.
The girl's limbs were tied so tightly that she couldn't break free, and she wanted to cry out for help but found that she couldn't speak, and even her whining was quickly drowned out by the howling cold wind, so she could only curl up in her bag and pray that nothing miserable would happen to her.
Marlowe found Ray with the bag on his back, and the two returned to the cuckoo village together, on the way they met Ethan, who was afraid of death, and Ethan curiously asked him what he was carrying, and Marlowe could only perfunctorily tell him that it was the prey sent by an old friend from afar.
When he returned to the house in the village, Marlowe found that the others were not there, and the heavy snow also meant that the orc tribe was coming, James and the others must hurry up to inspect the village's defenses, and if there is a problem, they must be remedied in time, after all, the fewer the problems, the more people will survive.
Ordered Ray to stay by the door, and Marlowe untied the rope from the bag and released the human girl.
The human girl sat trembling on the ground and looked around to find that she was in a closed room, opposite the elf she had seen in the snow, and the only exit from the room stood a smiling minotaur (in fact, Lei Jie was smiling), and the rope on her body had not yet been untied......
