Chapter 0386: The Surprise of the Black Corner
In the end, Ariador could not resist the temptation to let the tribe develop,
Agreed to Nock's terms.
Of course, he only agreed to go back and consult with his people.
At the same time, Nok was also invited to visit the tribe.
All in all, it's impossible to let Nock go.
If you can't negotiate with your clansmen, you can only besiege and kill Nock Lane.
Nock can't be allowed to expose their minotaur footing.
Nock knew that Arriadot's invitation was somewhat ill-intentioned.
But he can't help it now, unless he summons Fiona,
Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to deal with a minotaur tribe.
There are no less than sixty or seventy Minotaur warriors seen today.
Even if they only have bronze strength, they can grind Nok to death.
What's more, Nock felt several breaths that were not weaker than his own.
When it comes to making a move, he has no chance of winning.
So, in the face of Ariador's invitation, he could only choose to agree.
Until the last minute, he didn't want to tear his face with Arriadotus.
What's more, he felt that he had convinced Ariador,
Next, it's time to find a way to fool some minotaurs.
It's a pity that he doesn't understand orc language, otherwise things would be much easier.
But that doesn't mean he can't help it.
Nok also has a trick, the spiritual perception method he learned from the fish-people.
But he needs to find a candidate with good prestige and momentum in the Minotaur group to fool.
This had to be done in secret from Ariador.
For Nock, the panic in Ariador's eyes from the moment they met was enough to alert Nok.
It's just that he has no choice now, so he chooses to trade with Ariadod.
Presumably, Ariadore was also forced to trade with Nock.
Otherwise, with a different identity and situation, Ariador is estimated to kill Nock on the spot!
What an old friend, that's just a hypocritical pretty.
The word friend, in this world, is the cheapest, let alone with other races.
At the invitation of Ariador, Nock eventually let the Wild Hoof Four go.
The sober black hooves and black hooves, almost after being untied, covered their faces and galloped back to the village.
I don't want to stay for a second.
Crazy Hoof and Blue Horn, who were knocked unconscious, don't know if they are really still in a coma, or if they will continue to be unconscious voluntarily.
Anyway, he was carried back to the village by the clansmen.
When Nock arrives at the Minotaur village accompanied by Ariadod, he is confronted with the unkind bull's eyes.
Nock was still stunned.
Fortunately, Ariador sent Pointe-Noire back in advance and told the villagers about Nock's importance.
Even the villagers who hated humans did not act rashly at this moment.
In the end, with Aliador's reaction and playing a round, Nock was finally "welcomed" by the villagers.
Stay in a room vacated by the Minotaurs.
This stay is another three days.
After a few days of familiarity, the Nock father and daughter did not dare to say that they had been accepted by the people in the village.
But he was already able to move around the village at will.
As long as you don't get close to the villagers' houses, it's okay to move around the village.
Even, there are curious cow cubs who appear around the two of Nock,
If it weren't for the fact that Nock didn't want to expose his mental power to communicate,
Now they can mingle with this herd of calves.
Although Nock didn't make a move, don't forget that there is a more lethal Rasti next to him.
In just three days, Rasti was able to use gestures to communicate with the Minotaur children.
Who let her cheat, she pretended to be stupid when she understood what people said!
In the past three days, Ariador has not been directly hanging Nok, but the transaction before the Feast of Divine Grace is imminent.
No matter how beautiful many of Nock's are, they can't be realized in front of them.
But the materials they are missing must be replaced in time.
Therefore, for these three days, Ariadore only sent someone to spy on the Nock father and daughter.
At the same time, he also told Nok that he had to prepare materials to be traded on the black market, and he couldn't entertain Nock these days.
What's the matter, wait until he's done dealing with the black market.
Although Nock also wanted to follow him to the black market, considering that the black market had rewarded himself back then,
I don't know if my bounty is still there. Plus Rasti was still young, and it was impossible to take her to that kind of place.
I just stopped thinking about it.
So, Nock was bored under the surveillance of the whole village of the Minotaurs,
I took a brief walk around the village and got a general idea of the current situation of the village.
Nock found that the situation of the Minotaur tribe was even worse than he had previously suspected.
Combined, the elderly and children account for one-third of the entire clan.
The old man here is not the kind of old man in the human race.
Fifty or sixty years old, that is young and strong for the Minotaur.
Seventy or eighty years old, that's still a treasure knife. The gold-level powerhouse that Nock sensed belonged to this age group.
Only those who are eighty or ninety years old and have serious physical injuries can be called old people.
Some are even more than a hundred, and they look like candles in the wind.
These are all minotaurs who were injured when they were young and did not receive effective treatment, and they did not receive medical treatment in the later stage.
The result of the decay of qi and blood.
Normally, the average minotaur has a slightly longer lifespan than humans, and can live for about 120-150 years.
But in the midst of hunger and cold sickness, ordinary Minotaurs now generally do not live to be 80 years old.
Only the Minotaur whose strength surpasses the gold level can rely on strong strength to extend the life span.
The gold level of human beings can easily live for more than a hundred years.
At the holy level, three or five hundred years is not a problem.
It can be seen how hard the life of the minotaur is.
These things are the result of Nock's analysis by observing the age distribution of the minotaur.
Of course, there are also some overheard words that are speculated after being combined.
All in all, the situation of the minotaurs is very bad, and they are even worse than the serfs who were exploited by the lords!
At least for the lords, the serfs were their private property, and they would exploit the serfs to the greatest extent,
but they will not starve them to death. Otherwise, it is they who lose.
But the "free" minotaur is not even able to support himself, and even raise the next generation.
It all depends on God's mercy, otherwise you won't be able to survive the winter.
It's just patheticly ridiculous.
But the more this happened, the happier Nock became.
Nock wasn't a compassionate man, but he wasn't hard-hearted either.
If the Minotaur tribe is willing to submit to him, for the sake of the Holy Lord, Nok will definitely keep them fed and clothed.
After all, it is a win-win situation, as long as the minotaur does not betray him, he will definitely protect them.
Who made Nock need to flock to these minotaurs in the future!
Not only minotaurs, but goblins, elves, elves, dwarves, and even other orcs.
As long as it can be wooed, Nock will be wooed in the future.
But now there is no hurry, his career has just started, and what he wants to do is to seek stability.
I just hope that Richelieu is interesting and doesn't make trouble when he is not at home.
Otherwise, Nock wouldn't mind making him the shortest-serving cardinal in history!
Thinking of this, Nock couldn't help but touch his wrist.
In the space, there is a special token granted by the [Dark Emperor] to Nock.
A token representing the identity of the [Dark Emperor], it can be said that as soon as the token comes out, in addition to the [Dark Emperor] himself,
The entire Inquisition had to obey Nock's orders,
Even if Nock's order was to attack the Holy Court and capture Pope Boros alive.
Nock decided to move the Minotaur tribe to submit as soon as possible.
Even if they can't make a decision for a while, they have to be moved to let a few young minotaurs follow Nock.
Then, Nock had to rush back as soon as possible.
On the Day of Thanks, as the bishop of the region, Nock had to celebrate Mass with the people of Reims.
After another two days, when Nock found out that Arriadord was not in the village, he went into action.
The goal of his operation is clear, which is the minotaur who is responsible for spying on their father and daughter.
According to information provided by Rasti, the minotaur who was spying on them was called Blackhorn.
It is one of the more outstanding and thoughtful ones in the younger generation.
In addition, of the five people who pursued Nock that day, he was not captured by Nok.
As a result, these days, he is respected by more of his clansmen.
It was even rumored that he was valued by the high priest.
At the mention of the High Priest, Nock had to curse that the old cow of Ariador was very bad.
He was obviously a high priest of the tribe, but he lied to him that he was a small priest.
Moreover, that guy is actually the direct bloodline of the Frosthoof family.
Don't think that the name of the Minotaur is taken randomly.
There are rules. Ordinary people generally use colors and body parts as names.
But if it is excellent in the future, it will have a loud nickname.
But there are some special existences that are destined to be extraordinary from birth, and that kind of person will have a special name.
The Frosthoof family is a special family in the Minotaur priesthood lineage.
It is said that the minotaurs of this family are all ice attributes, and they can release ice spells.
Don't be afraid of the cold.
No wonder the Minotaur tribe was frozen to death by so many juniors, so they didn't freeze to death the old silver coin of Ariadorus,
It turned out that someone ordered ice resistance!
Nock was not dissatisfied with Ariadore hiding his real name, walking the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have a few vests.
Nock was just speechless at the old thing pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of him.
Therefore, Nock plans to take advantage of the opportunity of the old thing to go out to the black market and dig into the corner of the old thing.
If you can persuade the young people of the Minotaur,
In that future, I am not afraid that the Minotaur will not fall into my hands.
As for those old things and old stubbornness, they will die of hunger for a winter or two.
Anyway, Nock wants to kill these old things quietly, and there is a way.
Just when Nock was about to act, he didn't expect that Black Horn would be delivered to the door by himself.
Not only that, but he also came to the door with an opportunity for Nock to buy the heart of the cow.
"Human, quick, come with me, we need your help!"
Blackhorn hurried into the house of Nock's father and daughter, and threw down a sentence to go to Ranoch.
But how could Nock do what he wanted.
Although he could see the anxiety on Blackhorn's face, Nok couldn't understand the orc language.
I don't know what happened, how could he possibly go with Pointe-Noire.
What if someone is going to take advantage of Ariador's absence to attack the Nock father and daughter?
"Wait, what do you want to do, I don't understand what you're saying. If you have something to say, find someone who can speak the lingua franca and tell me! ”
Nock shouted quickly, holding Rasti in his arms and getting up to avoid Blackhorn's second pull.
"Damn it! Human, come with me, or Rednose will die! ”
Blackhorn yelled at Nok angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
Rough, he is no match for this human.
Besides, he is begging this human to save his people, and it is not appropriate to use force.
He's not one of the fools in the clan, clamoring to catch this human to cure Red Nose,
If you don't cure the red nose, you will kill other people's fathers and daughters.
Fortunately, he has gained a bit of prestige these days, so he persuaded the group of fools to volunteer to invite someone.
But he forgot that he didn't understand the language with this human.
There is no way to communicate at all.
But if you can't get this human to make a move, the red nose will be dead.
The whole tribe, except the high priest, no one knew how to heal.
If it is a skin injury, there is a wound medicine concocted by the high priest, and it can be treated casually.
But the red nose was bitten by a snow mang, and he was poisoned by snow.
To say that Xue Mang is also wonderful, other snakes hibernate in winter.
But Xue Mang is different, they are all snow-white, and even the snow is cold.
In the hot summer and autumn, no one wants to find a trace of them.
But in the snowy winter and spring, they come alive.
Wherever there is snow, there is a possibility of their existence.
Especially in some places where there is a water source, they will lie in ambush in the snow,
With its snow-white protective color, it blends in with the snow.
Wait quietly for the animal to be hunted for water.
This is a bunch of villains who defy the laws of nature.
All living things obey the rule of not fighting in the water,
But in front of them, they are the code.
They only obey their own habits and do nothing else.
Of course, the number of snow mangs is scarce, and it is generally difficult to be encountered.
The Minotaur has lived here for two years and has never encountered it.
Who would have thought that today he was met by the children of the village.
And it's not at the water source.
Instead, when the children went to collect firewood together, they were bitten by the snow that suddenly fell from the tree.
If it weren't for the woman who was traveling with her to kill Xue Mang, the red-nosed child would have been swallowed by Xue Mang!
But even so, the red nose was bitten, and the snow poison directly drilled into the child's body.
When Rednose was brought back to the village, he was covered in frost.
If you don't hurry up, people will be frozen by snow poison and the blood of the whole body will be frozen, and the whole person will be frozen into ice sculptures!
But the more anxious Blackhorn became, the more uncomfortable Nock became.
After secretly listening to Rasti's translation and knowing that Black Horn was planning to let him save people, Nock was even more abrasive.
It's okay to save people, but you can't just save them in vain.
If you want to save it, you have to do it yourself, not someone "kidnapped" to save it.
Otherwise, how can you make the minotaur owe himself a favor!
Nock isn't that stupid!
Heijiao was also anxious, and after discovering that the human in front of him couldn't understand his words, and he couldn't understand his words,
He fell to his knees with a "plop" directly.
"Human, please, save Rednose! Although he is not my son, he is my wife's child.
His father also died to save me, and I can't watch him die! I beg you! ”
The black horn kowtowed to the ground with a "bang", and Nock looked a little distressed.
Nock thought to himself: "In the future in Reims City, these minotaurs must not be allowed to kneel and kowtow.
They all broke their horns! ”
Well, it's not the black horn that Nok feels sorry for, it's the floor!
Through Rasti's translation, after Nock knew that it was the cheap son of Black Horn who was to be saved,
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
As for the situation of the Minotaurs, Nock also knows something about it these days.
They are already seriously understaffed with men.
Once a man dies, the remaining orphans and widows will be divided among the men of the clan.
Usually some will be given to those young people who are not married, so that they can continue to have children with those women.
It can also be regarded as a support for those women and orphans.
Otherwise, a woman who has no man to rely on will have to go into battle and hunt on her own, and there will be no one to take care of the child.
Although the food of the tribe is brought back by the hunting party and distributed uniformly.
However, the families of those who were in the hunting party always received more food than the orphans, widows, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled.
This is their rule of survival.
If you save the cheap son of Black Horn, will there be a chance to move him to submit to him?
Nock thought about it and decided to take a chance.
Anyway, his initial target was also the Black Corner.
After the big deal, he left with Lastie.
Now he has figured out where he is.
It turned out that he had been going south all the time, not north at all.
Popsicle, bastard, led the wrong way.
But it can't be blamed on the popsicle, after all, Nock told it that the colder the place, the north.
Completely forget that the Alps to the south are the coldest places.
As a result, the popsicle fool took Nock and the two of them towards the coldest place.
As a result, the two of them walked in a large circle around the outskirts of the forest, and then went south again.
That's when I met the Minotaurs.
However, less than five days away from the Minotaur clan, they can get out of the outer forest of the forest,
Although after leaving the forest, the two of them had to face a foreign land.
But a civilized place is better than being in the middle of nowhere.
And with Nock's current identity,
As long as you don't intrude into the Eastern Kingdom, the Lionheart Kingdom, and the Black Bull Kingdom, which are hostile to the Holy Church,
It was not difficult to return to Flange by the way.
So, Nock, who had made a decision, directly used his mental power to shroud the black corner of kowtow.
"Alright, don't kowtow. I don't know what you want to do, but you should have something to ask me to do. ”
Nock's voice remembered in Heijiao's mind, making Heijiao directly stunned.
Because, he understood the meaning of Nock's words.
This human can speak orc?
Black Horn was shocked, then why did he keep pretending that he wouldn't, was there a conspiracy?
Nock saw Heijiao's doubts, and quickly explained: "Don't be suspicious, I don't know your language,
I don't understand what you're saying. But I can transmit what I want to say into your mind through mental power.
This is another way to use it like your Great Sacrifice Technique. Because it can only be used on one person,
So I didn't use it all the time. I'm afraid of causing misunderstandings. ”
Black Horn looked at Nock's unmoved mouth and knew that Nok wasn't lying.
It turns out that humans actually have such magical spells!
That's amazing! More powerful than the high priest.
He had seen this human heal the blood hole in the blackhoof with a wave of his hand.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen that Red Nose was in danger, so he thought of looking for this human to save his life.
"I don't understand your language," said Nock, "so if you ask me for anything,
You just tap your hand twice on the floor. ”
When Heijiao heard this, he hurriedly slapped the floor twice with his hand.
Seeing this, Nock smiled slightly in his heart, and continued to guide: "You are in such a hurry to pull me, do you want to take me somewhere else?" ”
"Bang bang!"
This time, without needing to be reminded by Nock, the black corner slapped it twice by inference.
Nock swallowed back the words that came to his lips with a little crying and laughed, and changed it to another sentence.
"Then get up and lead the way. I didn't know what you wanted me to help you with, but I decided to help you.
But don't hurt us, or you'll waste my trust in you.
I just want to be friends with the Minotaurs, but you high priests have left me down for so many days without any news.
I'm really afraid you're going to do it against me. ”
When Heijiao heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, no." As long as you save the red nose,
You are the benefactor of my Black Horn. I'll keep you safe. ”
Nock looked at the black horn still talking in place, and quickly reminded him.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I said it, I don't understand. But don't you have something to ask me for?
Take me with you! ”
Only then did Heijiao react and make a fool of himself.
He quickly got up and took the lead out of the room.
Nock followed with Rasti in his arms.
Rasti whispered, "Papa, that black bull cow said, if you save the calf cow,
You are his benefactor, and he protects us. ”
"Got it. Rasti is awesome. But don't say anything you hear in the crowd for a while.
If it's dangerous, you choke your father's shoulder. If someone makes a mistake, you pull your father's ear. ”
"Okay, Papa."
The father and daughter agreed on a code.
Nock followed Blackhorn to a courtyard full of minotaurs.
"Let's let's go, let's let's go, let's let go. The human who can save the red nose is here. ”
Blackhorn shouted as he parted the crowd and cleared the way for Nock.
But some people were very upset and shouted loudly: "The high priest is not here, a human knows how to save people."
Are you confused, black skin! Beware of Rednose being murdered by humans! ”
The black horn was immediately annoyed, he glared at the man, and scolded, "Shut up for me!" Old stuff.
Don't think I don't know you're in league with the old chief. You used to take advantage of the old chieftain.
I warn you, if I dare to make a move against the old chief, I will not be afraid to make a move against you. If you don't believe it, try to make trouble again.
As for this human being, he will not be able to heal? Hehe, you go and ask the blackhoof senior, how did the injuries on his body heal! ”
After scolding people, Heijiao didn't care what others thought, and directly separated the road ahead with both hands,
Invited Nock into the house.
Walking into the dark room, Nock was almost smoked to death.
The room was so full of people that Nok couldn't breathe.
Nock was furious.
He yelled in the mind of Black Horn, "I said you're not crazy! It depends, you should be looking for me to save people!
I don't know where the patients are, but I do know that so many people are here, and they don't trample the patients to death.
Smoked the sick to death too! How else can I heal! I can't even see the patient! Don't get people out yet!
By the way, light another torch and light up the house! ”
