Chapter 17: The Remnant Secret

Fingers swiped over the tavern counter, and an invisible and fragile wall of inspiration quickly rose, scribbling through the noise and smell of the tavern.

The boss behind the counter felt that the figure in front of him was quickly blurred, so he could only walk to the corner of the counter in a playful manner and take the initiative to act as if nothing had happened.

Colcan sensed Colli's arrangement, but didn't stop it: "So you came to me this time, did you decide to reorganize the caravan and set off for China, or did you have other plans?" ”

Ke Li turned his head sideways: "Mammothhorn is a good place to make money, I lost a lot of money a few days ago, and I don't plan to leave for the time being, this is a place where there are clearly extraordinary people to consume, and it is not necessary to return to the territory of the empire." ”

"It's a pity that the raw materials here are too expensive, I want to buy some gem ore processing to make money, the group of merchants who escaped from the snow region actually pretended not to know me, and the materials of other merchants are too expensive and don't let me bargain, it is even more disgusting than the maggots on the snow field."

"So I want to ask, do you know what happened to the caravan, and have you investigated it in the past few days?"

Colcan exhaled a heavy snort, "Well, I know you're going to ask me that question someday, too." ”

"I can tell you, but if you don't believe me, I won't say it, okay?"

Colly turned his chair and body: "Listen to me, I am very happy." ”

Colkan: "The relics escorted by the Snowy Caravan are related to a friend I know. ”

"His name is Aromig, the Rusty Beast - Aromig, you may not have heard of his story, but what happened to him changed the barbarians' perception of foreigners to a great extent, and this is the beginning of all tragedy."

Colcan began to tell the story of an old friend:

"Aromig is a hybrid of barbarians and orcs, all I know is that he has been in mixed cities on the borders of the empire since he was born, and has been treated unfairly like many orcs. During this period, he wandered the circus and the Colosseum, and then met a friend who changed his fate. ”

"The Hyacinth Mercenary Group, a mercenary group formed by down-and-out nobles, Aromig and like-minded brothers joined the mercenary group, they actually just want to live a better life by working hard, but the leader of the mercenary group is eager to regain the status of a nobleman through war."

In this way, tragedy struck, in the reckless raid missions, the mercenary group suffered heavy casualties, even the down-and-out nobleman himself was seriously wounded, and his beloved war horse also died in the encirclement. So Aromig became the temporary head of the mercenary group, commanding operations and logistics. ”

"It turns out that people who have problems in their brains are people who have problems."

"Aromig tried to save the mercenary group on the verge of collapse and disintegration, but the down-and-out nobles hated him more and more for what he did, thinking that Aromig took away the leadership and everything that should have belonged to him, in fact, you should be able to see that many barbarians have no opinion on who takes the lead, and we are not interested in the aristocracy at all."

"But the down-and-out nobleman didn't think so, after the mercenary group moved and was besieged by the enemy several times, the spirit and will of this imperial man finally collapsed, he took out a seed of the evil god's dependents, devoured the remnants of the soul and mind on the battlefield and became a container for the birth of the evil god, killing and polluting almost everyone present, only two purple-skinned, cat-nosed elves used secret magic to escape."

"The polluted parasitic Aromig was resurrected again, but after he had fallen into endless madness and anger, in order to escape from the control of the evil gods, he returned to the snowy region and begged for death, hoping that the soul could return to the arms of the ancestors, and the fallen nobles and other resurrected people who followed closely had a fierce battle with the snowy guards, and finally the snowy guards succeeded in removing the pollution."

Corrie changed the weak point of the Wall of Inspiration and bought Korkan another glass of wine: "So, this matter has something to do with Aromige? ”

Colkan drank half a glass of wine: "Yes, that battle is uncontrollable, the soul, mind, essence and extraordinary characteristics of the out-of-control are all precipitated after death, absorbed by the seeds of the disintegration of the evil god's family and re-condensed into a relic, and finally sealed by the snowy powerhouse. ”

"That was more than a decade ago, and as time goes by, its activity is gradually increasing."

"On the one hand, it is a twisted form that is half alive and half dead, and the strong longing of the Aromig makes it impossible for it to leave the snowy land, and their remnants cannot truly return to their ancestors for liberation. On the other hand, the distorted thoughts of the down-and-out nobles make them want to leave the snowy region, and they have been in a strange state of constant struggle with each other. ”

"The Griffon Empire has proposed several times to transport the relics to the church headquarters in the empire, use the power of the Brave Hunting Church and the Moonlight Church to purify and dismantle the relics, and the characteristics and remnants of the fallen nobles will be disposed of by the empire, and the part of the Arromig will be kept by us."

"This thing has failed several times, it sometimes inexplicably returns to the snowy region, and the regular mode of detention does not ensure the transport of relics. Our men asked if we could send a powerful Extraordinary One to take charge of this, but the Empire rejected our request. ”

"I messed up things a few times, wasted time and energy to cause casualties, and secretly blocked the news, trying to take it away by all kinds of cheap means."

"So, many of the people of the Empire seem to us nothing more than a bunch of pure opportunists, no different from the scavenging vultures of the wilderness. They are just trying to reap the benefits, and deep down they have no real humanity and tribal belonging. ”

"If you want me to say, if the people of the empire were sincere and sent a strong man to deal with this matter in one go, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Ke Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a straight face: "I can hear that you know the characteristics of Aromig and the others very well?" ”

The Griffin Empire is reluctant to send strong people over, on the one hand, it may be that it can't draw away manpower, and on the other hand, it may be because it suspects that the barbarians are cheating?

Driving the barbarians and half-orcs to the bitter cold land belongs to the historical hatred problem of thousands of years ago, the dark side of this world is so unstable, the powerful extraordinary people may have their own tasks, and they will not hang around as mercenaries, just like the guardians of the snowy region also stay in the holy mountains all year round, and will not easily appear, and will not easily contact ordinary people.

"Yes, but I am uncomfortable with the attitude of many of the Empire, who only want relics and do not mention the previous agreement, so I refuse to cooperate with them," Colcan said. ”

"Ke Li, maybe you don't know, you are the kind of rare kind of imperial person who can look at friends and things with equal eyes, I paid attention to people like you when I was studying in the snowy region, you are indeed very different from others."

"I don't know what happened to you in the past that made you have no desire to pursue your boasts of nobility and status, but for the sake of our friends, I am willing to tell you these secrets."
