Chapter 926: Lizardmen. Ann One Finger (1)
"Thank you for your help."
Although Kuran didn't know each other, that didn't stop him from thanking him.
"You're welcome, I've just arrived here, and I'm just handy."
He said casually, swinging the double-edged axe again and continuing to mend the part of the snake that was still twitching.
The seven- or eight-meter-long forest snake was dragged out of the water by him, and the part that was still not dead wrapped around his hand, as if trying to pull him on his back and strangle his arm.
But the gray-black-scaled lizardman didn't frown, it was as easy as tearing through a blade of grass and tearing the forest worm wrapped around his arm.
This is a man far superior to me!
But why don't I know such a strong person?
All the patriarchs of the Swamp of the Dead and the famous warrior Kurlan knew him, and the warrior who could tear apart the forest python with his bare hands must be very famous.
This made Curran a little confused, and he looked at the other man's chest, where there was usually a sign indicating which tribe the lizardman belonged to.
But he saw that the other party's chest was full of terrible scars, and he could only see a little different marks.
It was a mark that looked like it had been burned on a scale with a soldering iron, and it was quite distinct from a knife cut.
Messenger! The most knowledgeable and respected individual among the lizardmen.
This is a peculiar class that only appears among lizardmen, and is usually reserved for the most powerful and intelligent lizardmen.
The messenger is not a messenger, but rather a messenger who transmits knowledge from tribe to tribe.
Due to the tribal lifestyle of the lizardmen, and in order to relieve the pressure of survival, the tribes are not close to each other. What's more, even if you don't count the multiverse world, the main world alone has many gathering places for lizardmen to live, and the Swamp of the Dead is just the largest of them.
The biggest problem with tribal life is the inheritance of knowledge.
For example, a tribe found that an herb could effectively cure a certain disease, but because of the distance between the tribes, this important knowledge could not be passed on to other tribes. And in case the tribe that discovered the herb is wiped out by natural and man-made disasters, then this knowledge will be lost to the lizard people for a long time.
Lizardfolk are also intelligent creatures, and they know how important it is to pass on knowledge.
For the prosperity of the clan.
These words lizards people can be said to have achieved the extreme.
As a result, the Couriers were born, and they would travel back and forth between the various lizardmen tribes of Dosu in the Overworld, sometimes even across most continents, just to pass on the knowledge between the various tribes, so that more lizardmen tribes could understand and learn this knowledge.
This is a very dangerous profession, and it is no wonder that the other party is all looking at it, and they think that this person must be a warrior who has escaped death more than a dozen times.
Kuran quickly stood up, bowed his head to the life-saving benefactor in front of him, and said respectfully:
"I'm Kulan, the patriarch of the Talon tribe, honorable messenger, who are you?"
"You just call me ..... Ann."
Struggling to control the stiff lizard face, Ann wanted to smile, but the smile was so hard that it looked like constipation.....
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Find the lizardman tribe, push them one by one, until they find the Dark Scale tribe, torture, coercion and lure all together into battle, and finally get the information An Yizhi wants.
This is An Yizhi's original plan, and I have to say that this plan is really quite distracted.
It's no wonder that he wasn't interested in saving the city lord himself, and he agreed to Bishop Tolan just to return the favor.
There's no interest, and the method used naturally is quite confusing.
And this idea was rejected by himself at the moment before he was about to push hard, and he turned to another method.
What means of obtaining information are available?
Torture, coercion, and inducement are just inefficient tactics, especially in the face of unimaginated creatures like the lizardmen, who don't have the concept of betraying their own people in their heads.
Therefore, it is best to infiltrate the other party's camp and mingle with the lizardmen and make them think that Ann Yizhi is one of their own.
What is there like seeing the truth in adversity?
What the? You say it's not difficult?
It's simple, I'll just create one.
It can only be said that the Talon tribe is unlucky, they happen to be the closest tribe in the map provided by the tree elves, so they were selected by An Yizhi.
To put it bluntly, the whole plan has no technical content at all, but it is to use the Book of the Dead to compile + summon a large number of cannon fodder, and put on an attitude of exterminating the big boss.
Leaving Hela as the commander of the undead's operations, Ann himself transforms into a lizardman using the Book of Shamelessness and uses the Perfect Warrior spell to follow the fleeing lizardmen.
Until they encounter danger and come forward and meet by chance on the way, they can use their identity as messengers and life-savers to successfully penetrate the lizardmen, and the rest is simple, Ann is confident that he can easily induce the simple-minded lizardmen to say what he wants through words.
It's not complicated, but it's effective.
The only miscalculation was that the lizardmen's team did not encounter any danger along the way, which made An Yizhi, who was following them, scratch his head.
Didn't it say that the hatching of the good insect king caused the insect monsters in the swamp to be particularly aggressive? Why didn't they come out one by one when they were needed?
If it weren't for the discovery that Kuran had left the team to look for water, and that there was a forest worm in the pond that could be used to take advantage of it, An Yizhi would have thought about whether to use the Orb of Death to pull the two bone dragons out to artificially create a chance encounter.
- That's why people who play tactics are dirty......
The Ancient Nord Double-Edged Axe taken from the Elder Scrolls copy, combined with the stat amplification of the Perfect Warrior Spell, now Ann Yizhi can become an object of admiration for the lizards with Ping A alone.
Lizardmen are martial and worship the strong.
And because their palms are too wide and inflexible, there are no mages among the lizardmen, only druids.
Therefore, Ann Yizhi cannot disguise himself as a lizardman mage, but can only disguise himself as a melee fighter with a perfect warrior.
But the effect is surprisingly good, and the look in which Kuran looks at him on the other side is like a brain-dead fan seeing an idol......
Either way, the plan went very well.
The rest depends on whether Ann can fool the lizardman with this big flicker...... I mean, induce the desired intelligence.
He plucked a unsightly leaf from the bushes at the edge of the pond, and the thing followed the weeds that could be seen everywhere, and took two stones to polish the leaves into a paste, and then said to Kuran:
"Deal with your arm, this herb has some healing properties."
"Yes, yes?"
Kuran suspiciously pasted the grass on the forearm that had just been hit by the forest beetle, and the next moment a cool sensation came from the bruise, and the dull pain was slowly disappearing.
He is worthy of the most knowledgeable messenger, and he usually thinks that he is just a weed and has such a curative effect!
This move strengthened Kuran's impression that Ann was a messenger, which was what Ann was aiming for.
That kind of grass blade can be used as a herb, and the information comes from Hela, of course, the botanical illustrated book can only be regarded as an entry-level basic knowledge in the Nikolaite master, as long as it is the intelligent creation of the Nikolaite master, there is nothing that is not known.
- I feel that An Yizhi is very incompetent for this genuine apprentice......
Curran pointed at Ann and said:
"Ann, my tribe needs your help."
The lizardmen are very united with each other, and there is basically no bad intentions, so they don't talk to each other at all, and often go straight to the point.
Considering the character of the lizardmen, the answer at this time ......
"No problem, as long as I can help."
This kind of crisp and neat answer came from the mouth of this mercenary guy named An Yizhi, which is really a bit incredible.
Then Kuran told them all about how they encountered the undead army, how they escaped, and even how much supplies they had in the team, and where they were going.
This is a pure racial difference, and if it were a dialogue between human beings, I am afraid that it would not be so unguarded.
An Yizhi pretended to think for a moment:
"It's probably right for you to go to the Dragon Bone Tribe, but I'm afraid it's also a waste of time."
"Why?"
"Those undead should be on their way here, and when you get to the Dragonbone Tribe, you will at best flee with the Dragonbone Tribe, and it will be more conspicuous due to the increase in the number of people in the team."
He put the axe on his shoulder and continued:
"I've seen those undead creatures from afar on the road, and it's impossible to count how many of them there are, it's hard to imagine that a necromancer who controls such a large number of undead creatures would target only one of your tribes."
"What do you mean...... He's going to deal with all the tribes?! ”
Looking at the surprised Kuran, An Yizhi couldn't hold back his laughter, but fortunately, there was very little expression on the lizard's face, which made him have few flaws in disguise, and said in a low and solemn voice again:
"He's probably the one the human race has hired to solve the problem of the Swamp of the Dead once and for all, so that's why I'm thinking about it. For now, only by uniting all the tribes can there be a glimmer of life. ”
Kuran didn't expect this matter to expand from the survival of one tribe of his own tribe to the lizardmen of the entire Swamp of the Dead, and he was a little unbelievable for a while.
But if he thinks about it carefully, there is indeed a possibility, and the probability is not low.
"Where are you going? Maybe we can drop by. ”
Seeing that the other party believed his words, An Yizhi quietly revealed a little fox tail.
"I came from the Cape of the Lookout Sea, and for the first time I went to the Swamp of the Dead."
The Horn of the Sea is the name of a lizardfolk gathering place west of Canso City, next to the Heavenly Sword Mountains, and Ann says this to add credibility.
"I'm not familiar with the tribes here, I've heard other messengers mention the Darkscales, and I originally planned to go there first to teach about herbs. But since this has happened, I can't stand idly by, and I will do my best to help you. ”
When Curran heard this, he said as if he had suddenly remembered something:
"The Darkscale Tribe! That's right! Go to the Darkscales, they are the richest tribe in the neighborhood, they are very strong, we can go there and organize warriors to fight against the army of the undead. ”
"Patriarch! Patriarch! ”
The voices of other lizardmen came from outside the bushes, presumably because they had come out to look for Curlan after he had been gone for a long time.
"I'm here! I'm fine! ”
In a loud response, Curran turned to Ann and said:
"Although the distance is a bit far, but escorted by a strong person like you, the danger on the road is not worth mentioning."
"Do your best."
An pointed to the righteous and awe-inspiring and said that Kuran didn't notice at all, he had been talking and laughing with the mastermind behind the scenes just now......
