Chapter 559: Contest (1)
Xiaozhu didn't move, and she didn't speak anymore, letting Xue Lan look at her.
Xue Lan looked at it for a while, and said slowly, "Your previous master was a friend of the Snow Clan? ”
Xiao Zhu stepped forward and said to me respectfully, "Master, please take out the Soul Bead and show it to Patriarch Xuelan." ”
I took out the Soul Bead as I said and put it in my hand to show Xue Lan.
Xue Lan looked at the Soul Bead that was almost the same as when I picked it up, and exclaimed suddenly: "It's the Soul Bead, where did you find it, how did it end up in your hand, who are you?"
Facing Xue Lan, who was obviously a little out of shape, I didn't know what Xiaozhu was going to do, so I glanced at Xiaozhu and waited for Xiaozhu to speak.
Xiao Zhu took a step forward and said slowly: "Patriarch don't be surprised, I am the instrument spirit of the Soul Bead, and my current master is General Jin Feng, so the Soul Bead will be in the general's hands." ”
"Are you the instrument spirit of the Soul Bead?" Xue Lan said in surprise, "I understand. I saw the Soul Bead just now, and I lost my temper, please don't mind. ”
Xiao Zhu smiled slightly: "When you see the Soul Bead after a long absence, it is normal for you to have such a reaction." My previous owner has passed away, and I have been abandoned in a very dangerous place for many years. If it hadn't been for the general finding me and helping me stabilize my dying primordial spirit, I might not have existed. ”
Xue Lan nodded and regained her composure: "In this way, I, the people of the Snow Clan, should also thank General Jin for his great kindness. ”
Xiaozhu said: "The general is now my master, so don't be polite." I believe the purpose of our coming here is clear to the patriarch, and I don't want to say anything more about what others say and whether it affects your judgment, the patriarch. Let me ask you, patriarch, how did you consider the general's proposal?"
Xue Lan glanced at the other clansmen around him in embarrassment, and then said, "It's not that I don't agree with General Jin's proposal, but we heard some rumors before that General Jin killed a lot of his own people in the battle with the Star Men and has a hobby of killing innocents...... We Snow people are very timid, and some of our people are against following the general out of here. They think that although we are bitterly cold and poor here, we are relatively safe. ”
I had long expected Xue Lan to say this, so I didn't think it was strange, so I smiled, took a few steps forward and said, "The patriarch may have heard someone say something that framed me, so he misunderstood me a little. In fact, how the hell am I, the Patriarch and the people of the Snow Clan are welcome to come to Mirror God City to observe me up close. If I am really a heinous person, as some have said, you can refuse my offer and return to the cold land, and I will not force me to stay. ”
Xue Lan looked at me in embarrassment, her face full of embarrassment, as if there was nothing more to say.
Xue Lian'er and Xue Mei'er stepped forward to stand in front of me at this time, and the two said in unison: "General, don't blame the patriarch, we also listened to what others said, whether it is the truth is not clear." ”
I smiled: "I don't mean to blame the patriarch, I just want to ask the patriarch to go to Mirror God City to have a look, don't lose the best opportunity to leave the extremely cold land because some people deliberately slander." ”
After a pause, I clenched my fists and said, "Xiaozhu and I, as well as my war beast Xiaojin, will leave early tomorrow morning, before that, I hope the Snow Clan can think about it and give me an answer before we leave." ”
I didn't say anything to Xue Lan and the others, and when I returned to the residence arranged by Xue Lian'er, I found that Xiao Jin had also returned.
Jin went looking for the person who secretly sabotaged our alliance with the Snow Clan, and now that he's back, I'm naturally the first to ask him what the outcome is.
Xiao Jin said with some pride: "You must know this person, maybe it's still your acquaintance." ”
I was a little surprised: "It can't be Bian Lusha, right?"
"Just guess it. Xiao Jin said: "Bian Lusha arrived three days before we came here, and has been trying her best to persuade Xue Lan and the others to join the ranks of the Star Clan. Moreover, the conditions they offered were much more generous than ours, not only did they have enough areas for the Snow Clan to live and live in, but they also provided the Snow Clan with a large amount of supplies, so that they could start a new life soon after leaving here. The most important thing is that the Star People have provided a lot of high-tech equipment for the Snow Clan, and there is enough guarantee for the safety of the Snow Clan people after they go out. These are things that we don't take into account, and they are also what the Snow people are more concerned about. ”
I listened to Xiao Jin's words, and I felt that I really didn't do my best, and I didn't say a lot of what I thought, so that the Snow Clan people didn't fully understand our sincerity.
But since the Starry Man had already spoken out about these things before us, it would not necessarily be useful for us to say it again.
With Bian Lusha here, I'm afraid that our trip will not be so simple, I have learned her wisdom and methods, and I have also suffered a big loss in her hands, and I am a little jealous of her.
Now I suddenly feel that we have to fight again, and we must not watch the Snow Clan join the ranks of the Starry Men and become our enemy.
Xiao Jin saw that I didn't speak, so he said again: "General, Bian Lusha and the others are now in the residence arranged by Xue Lan, if you want to go and meet me, I can take you there now." ”
I didn't want to see Bian Lusha, so I said to Xiao Jin: "You go to monitor Bian Lusha, if they have any abnormal movements, they will immediately summon me." ”
Xiao Jin said: "I know what to do, I will go now, and tell the general as soon as there is news." ”
I watched Jin leave, and then said to Xiao Zhu, who had not spoken, "You have been in the Snow Clan before, you should know where the Snow Clan is where they keep secrets, right?"
Xiaozhu shook her head: "When I was in the Snow Clan, there were no so-called confidential places here. The people of the Snow Clan are very egalitarian, and all people, including the patriarch, have no privileges, so there are no so-called secrets. ”
I frowned and said, "Then there are no places where outsiders are forbidden to enter, such as ancestral shrines and other places?"
Xiaozhu shook her head and said, "Because the Snow Clan people live in a small place, they have to leave more places to grow food, and it is impossible to build many places to live or hide, and there are no places like ancestral shrines. Moreover, after the death of the Snow Clan, they will be sent to the snow region of the extremely cold land for burial, and will not occupy the already small amount of land here. ”
Originally, I wanted to find the secret place of the Snow Clan, and then start from some of their secrets to get to know the Snow Clan thoroughly.
Now it seems that this idea is impossible, Xiaozhu's words let me down a little, the Snow Clan is really very different from us, and there is no place to hide secrets.
