Chapter 95: Xilin Tribe's Troubles
Xilin tribe.
It is a medium-sized tribe with a population of thousands, located in the northwest corner of the Land of Eagles, next to the Permafrost Wasteland.
From here, enter the Permafrost Wasteland, head west, bypass the extremely dangerous Thundering Mountains, and turn south to enter the Desert of Death.
If the rest of the journey goes well, you can smuggle yourself into the Knights' Country, and vice versa.
Close to such a dangerous and lucrative smuggling route, this geography is a place of course where soldiers must fight, kill, and change hands frequently.
This unstable state is naturally not conducive to doing business, as the so-called harmony makes money, who dares to send death when it is always bloody.
So several large tribes in the vicinity fought and talked, and finally reached a consensus, put aside the dispute for the time being, and everyone came together to develop this feng shui treasure land, and make a fortune together.
At first, each family discussed it and took turns to sit in the village, but it didn't take long for a dispute to arise, and later it was changed to how many people each came out to develop and manage together.
As a result, there were more conflicts, and I almost didn't pull out the knife again.
Finally, a wise man came up with the idea of bringing in a neutral tribe from the outside to manage the place instead of everyone, similar to the modern professional manager.
This method is fair, as soon as several major tribes are combined, it is not a matter to fight and kill like this, so just divide some small profits and invite a housekeeper to come.
After several twists and turns, the Xilin tribe stood out and became the "stewards" of this area.
Compared with the previous two stewards, the Xilin tribe did not do a very good job, but it has been done for a long time, and it has been here for more than ten years now.
During this period, a large tribe in the vicinity was even defeated by a foreign enemy, but the Xilin tribe remained safe and sound.
There is no other reason, it is two words - low-key.
The Xilin tribe is quite self-aware, and knows that the reason why they can sit firmly in the position of this housekeeper is not because they are good at business management and can make money, nor because they are super powerful and can fight well.
It's because its own strength is neither big nor small, and it can not only control the scene, but also not let those vicious smugglers and armed caravans do anything wrong, and it will not make several major tribes worry that they can't control it.
The old patriarch of the Xilin tribe is very self-aware, and he pays attention to a tepid, rare and confused person who governs this place, and no one can really turn his face, smuggling is deep, God knows who can afford to provoke and who can't afford to provoke.
In addition, he maintains a very restrained attitude towards the growth of his own combat power.
The patriarchs of other families are afraid that their own tribe is not strong enough, but the old patriarch of the Xilin tribe is just the opposite.
Whenever someone in the tribe breaks through and his strength increases greatly, the old patriarch will take the initiative to report to several major tribes and send this person away as soon as possible, even if it temporarily weakens his own combat power.
Looking up to people and snorting, like walking on thin ice!
The old patriarch sighed, waved his hand and sent his henchmen away: "Lint, go and see if Lin Ba's injuries are stable, and by the way, ask the distinguished guest, if there is anything else you need, remember to be respectful." ”
"Yes. ”
Lint turned to leave, he was silent, very steady, the nephew of the old patriarch, and the most trusted by the old patriarch in the younger generation.
He has excellent talent in martial arts, and he advanced to three stars very early, which can be called amazing.
It's a pity that the resources of the Xilin tribe are limited, and Lint is reluctant to switch to other big tribes, and now it has been stuck in the late three-star stage for more than two years, and it has not been able to impact the innate for a long time.
Looking at Lint's back, the old patriarch frowned, and his heart was regretful and helpless.
He had already made up his mind that even if he forced Lint to sell himself to those big tribes, he would seek to obtain the resources for him to impact the innate nature.
But now, the rangers in the clan have suffered a catastrophe and lost most of them, and the first master, Limba, is also seriously injured and almost died.
Fortunately, he had to be rescued by a nobleman and temporarily saved his life, but unfortunately he was too seriously injured, and even if he survived, he basically became a waste.
In this case, the Xilin tribe has reached the most dangerous time, and once the news spreads, a vicious wolf will come to the door every minute.
When the time comes, let alone keep this job as a housekeeper, it will be considered a great mercy to the other party if he can not be exterminated and taken into slavery.
"Alas, now, it's too late to hide the news, so you have to plan early. ”
The old patriarch shook his head, sighed helplessly, summoned several other henchmen, and ordered them one by one.
When the orders were delivered, he walked out of the tent and called a maid: "Where's Xiaozha?"
Xiaozha is his favorite granddaughter on weekdays, her full name is Di Lina Zha, and she is the most beautiful one among all his granddaughters, granddaughters, nieces and nephews.
Di Linaza will not reach adulthood until the "Ancestor Sacrifice" at the beginning of next year, but she is already a well-known peerless beauty, known as the "Xilin Treasure Pearl", which is the pride of the entire tribe.
In the past two years, the surrounding large tribes have counted one by one, and almost all of them have expressed their request to the old patriarch to marry Di Linazza, either explicitly or implicitly.
There are even suitors who come from afar, and the most shocking of them is the overlord of the northwest of the Eagle Country, the third young lord of the Baier tribe, Loki.
The totem of the Baier tribe is the famous king beast "Golden Colorful Treasure Deer", so the royal family of the Baier tribe is also called the "Baolu Family", referred to as the "Deer Family", known as the rich and rival country, dominating the northwest region of the grassland for three generations, and it has not moved for hundreds of years.
Loki's father is the current head of the Deer family, and he holds the authority of the Baier tribe, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "King of the Northwest" of the Eagle Country.
As the third son of the King of the Northwest, Loki's identity is naturally unspeakably expensive, and his talent, appearance, and strength are also a temporary choice.
He is a few years younger than Lint, the same age as Dilinazha, a few months older, and will have a coming-of-age ceremony next year.
At such an age, Loki is already in the realm of the three-star Great Perfection, and it is said that he will only wait for next year's coming-of-age ceremony, and then his father will personally protect the Dharma and help him break through the innate nature.
It is said that such a talent and family background are more than enough for Di Lina Zana, but this son also has a nickname - the prodigal son splashes tears.
As soon as you look at this name, you know how prodigal this guy is, before he is an adult, he has already squandered most of the northwest grasslands, and it is said that there are a dozen illegitimate children.
When encountering such a hooligan, the old patriarch really had a pain in his liver, but the other party had a hard background, and he couldn't afford to provoke it 100%, so he could only drag it.
Fortunately, Loki never has to be strong, in his own words - I never bully others, I only rely on my own talent and charm to snap!
Even so, when he came, all the surrounding tribes fell silent, never mentioning the marriage with the Xilin tribe, and they were all better than their grandsons, and they tried their best to please Loki, but they didn't call their father on the pole.
Di Linaza was strictly regarded by the old patriarch, Loki came for half a month, and he didn't see a few people in total, he really didn't use it.
However, this young master can't be idle, so he goes to other nearby tribes every once in a while to play, and by the way, he "convinces people with virtue", and lies down with those beautiful women who want to refuse and welcome back to discuss life.
Calculating the time, this master should also come back in the past two days, the old patriarch decided to give his granddaughter a psychological construction first, and for the sake of the tribe, he can only do this.
He was worried, and the maid replied softly, "Miss Seven has gone to thank that distinguished guest." ”
Limba is Di Linazha's uncle, and he loves her the most, and it is reasonable for her to thank her uncle for saving his life.
The old patriarch frowned: "Go and call her over." ”
The maid was about to call, but his eyes flashed again, and he suddenly changed his mind: "Forget it, I'll go over." ”
With two henchmen and guards, the old patriarch came to a wide cowhide cloak, and when he entered, he saw that Di Linaza was chatting with the distinguished guests.
The distinguished guest was dressed in a slightly larger leather coat, with black hair and black eyes, and his skin was so white that it could glow.
It turned out to be Chen Mu!
