13. Tribal Secrets
The people of the Wind Breaking Tribe quickly disappeared from everyone's sight completely, and only a faint outsider aura remained. However, these auras will soon dissipate over time, and of course, if there are forest elves among the people present, then they can use these auras that have not completely dissipated to pursue the enemy, which is also their best skill.
Unfortunately, the Highland Elves and the Forest Elves are different after all.
Sean looked at the departing Wind Breaking Tribe Highland Elves, his expression was very calm, for him, a third-class tribe was not in his eyes. If it were the Eye of the Storm tribe of their overlord, Sean might have been a little more cautious and polite, since there was a very clear watershed between the second-class tribe and the third-class tribe: the former represented the qualification to enter the joint tribal council, while the latter would only be more valuable in some way.
In the meaning of aristocracy, it is the difference between the upper nobles and the lower nobles.
In terms of combat strength, it is the gap between the upper and lower holy domains.
In game parlance, it's the difference between a special advancement and a normal advancement.
Therefore, regardless of the situation, at this moment, Sean must respect a person from the second-class tribe. Of course, if he can handle the matter without leaving any traces, then the people of the second-class tribe are actually nothing, but if not, then under the premise of having the strength to completely compete with the other party, Sean will not provoke the enemies of the second-class tribe.
So, whether the people of the Wind Breaker tribe choose to leave or stay to fight to the death, Sean doesn't care at all. However, if the other party is going to retreat, he will not force people to stay, after all, only when two opposing forces are in a delicate balance. Only those who want to fish in troubled waters will have a chance.
Sean was very impressed by this sentence.
Because, that was what he was taught to him by the guild president at the beginning.
So after making sure that everyone in the Breaking Wind Tribe was gone, Sean glanced back at the princess of the Snowwind Tribe.
To be honest, Sean still can't accept that a princess can be fat like this, because it always makes him feel that something very beautiful in his heart has been broken.
To put it bluntly, it's disillusionment.
Disillusioned.
Sean is a very straightforward person, most of the time he doesn't bother to disguise himself, so whether he likes it, hates it, and is angry, he will show it clearly. Although he didn't show obvious repulsion in the face of this princess of the Snow Wind Tribe at this moment, there was still some confusion or weirdness in his expression that was more or less strange, which even others could clearly perceive.
Not to mention the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe who is the party involved. Saloki. Snow wind.
"Your Excellency, although we are deeply grateful for the fact that you saved us." The elven defender of the Snowwind Tribe dragged his tired body forward a few steps, stood in front of Saloki, and whispered to Sean in a tone that was neither arrogant nor condescending, "But. As a guard and attendant, I still hope that Your Excellency will maintain the respect and etiquette of a gentleman to our princess. ”
"I'm not a gentleman." Sean shrugged. "And I have to correct your claim."
"What?" The elven defender asked.
"The gentleman is over there in my hometown. It is usually used to describe the other person as a pervert. Sean said with a straight face, his serious expression made people nervous, "And the word pervert is not used to describe the abbreviated 'pervert' when the druids change their forms, but to insult others." …… So, can I understand that you just meant to scold me? ”
"Stand down! Lomischien! The princess of the Snowwind Tribe, Saloki, snorted. At this moment, she really showed the temperament and majesty that she should have as a princess, "I have said many times, don't show your knowledge from outdated books in the human realm!" ”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess. I was wrong. The defender of the Snowwind Tribe bowed slightly, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for my misnomer. ”
Looking at the other party's serious and apologic appearance to himself, Sean was actually a little dumbfounded, or felt a strangeness. Because the person of the Snow Wind Tribe in front of him had a completely different attitude from the elves he came into contact with. He has been in contact with almost all the elven races in the game, even the newly born elven variant in the underworld, the black elves.
But the feeling that these elves give him is extremely arrogant. Even if their race can no longer return to the glory of the ancient elves, they are still unwilling to face such a fact, and they still live in their own world, maintaining that arrogant attitude towards everyone.
And in this real world, Sean only came into contact with elves for the first time today.
It's just that the highland elves of the Windbreaker tribe still make Sean feel the arrogance engraved in their bones, and the contempt for humans. So compared with the highland elves of the Breaking Wind Tribe, the attitude of these highland elves of the Snow Wind Tribe made Sean feel a little uncomfortable, because from the bones, Sean is a typical person who eats soft and does not eat hard, if the elves still maintain an arrogant attitude, Sean can continue to sneer at the wrong thing, but if the other party takes the initiative to be polite, of course Sean can't do it coldly glance at the other party.
However, it was precisely through the attitude of the elven defender of the Snow Wind Tribe that Sean finally believed that the woman in front of him who was seriously oversized for the elf tribe was the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe, and she was also the target of the Breaking Wind Tribe this time at the expense of revealing her identity and mobilizing the crowd to kill. And before that, Sean even insisted that this princess must be a stand-in, and the real princess must have run away, after all, this kind of skill of playing stand-in is the most favorite method used by nobles.
And the elven race is a race that greatly admires the theory of blood, coupled with the particularity of the wild land, so the princess in front of him is a fake, and Sean is not surprised at all.
However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Sean is thinking too much.
Seeing that Sean didn't react, Saloki and the highland elf defender of the Snowwind Tribe, who had a somewhat awkward name, didn't pay any attention to Sean. Instead, he held another Highland spirit from the Snowwind tribe and let him lie down on the ground. At this time, whether it was Princess Saloki or another guard, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces, especially Princess Saloki, whose face did not look like a fake at all, but a heartfelt sadness.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I can only accompany you here." The guard had a relieved smile on his face, "I'm so happy to see you safe, it's not far from the final point of convergence, as long as you hold on a little longer." ”
"Nope." Princess Saloki wept under her breath. "Uncle Akadan......
"This Terran friend." The mortally wounded elven guard turned his head to look at Sean, and then whispered, with a pleading tone that even Sean could easily hear, "I'm sorry to drag you into this whirlpool." …… As you can see, we are all Highland Elves from the Savage Lands. You should have heard it in the battle just now, this is the princess of our Snowwind Tribe......"
"The Snowwind Tribe and the Breaking Wind Tribe. I still know the truth. Sean said calmly.
Right now, the Snowwind Tribe's guard was extremely injured. Unless there was a senior priest of the Life Church present, and at least a priest of Heatley's level, it would be completely powerless for such an injury. After all, the damage caused by this injury on his body was not just as simple as excessive blood loss, but also completely injured his internal organs, and he could even see that two sternums had been broken - and if it weren't for these two sternums, I am afraid that in the moment of causing this terrible wound. His heart would have been shattered.
In the face of such an injury, at least he had to use a magic technique like [Life Return] to barely stop the deterioration, and then he had to continue to perform multiple advanced healing techniques to be able to save his life. Of course, it's just a matter of saving his life, and the weakening of his strength is also an unavoidable fact. It can even lead to other sequelae such as a decline in physical fitness.
If you want to recover completely, then at least this high-ranking priest of the Life Church who has performed divine magic needs to be demoted by a few levels to be completely eradicated. But making such a big sacrifice to a golden powerhouse is simply impossible in this world, so from the moment this injury appeared, it was already doomed to the end of this powerhouse.
He was able to hold on until now and did not swallow the last breath of the last breath, purely because he used all the fighting energy of his body to prevent the deterioration of the wound, and once these fighting qi were used up, his life would come to an end.
Therefore, in order not to waste the other party's life, Sean opened his mouth to interrupt the fact that he had already known the truth, and in order to prevent the other party from thinking that he was just talking nonsense, he also continued to add: "You are all subordinate tribes of the Eye of the Storm tribe, and you are also one of the most trusted and powerful tribes of the Eye of the Storm tribe, and I even know that your two tribes have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time in private. It's just that I don't understand why there is such an intractable contradiction between your two tribes, which is completely different from the situation in the wild land of the road that I know......"
In the wild land that Sean knows, although there will be infighting, and there are a lot of them, they will basically stay in a more restrained range, and basically they will not make too much trouble with each other, and even if they do make trouble, they will act with the idea of completely annexing each other.
Of course, this rule generally only applies to tribes of the third class and above.
Like the fourth-class and fifth-class tribes, no matter how much they kill and bleed, no one will care. This is also the reason why the Chongyan tribe was almost wiped out in the first place, and there were no people from the suzerain's tribe to intervene, because for the wilderness, the value of the weak tribe is to provide combat power for the higher tribes, so those high-level tribes like the third rank and above will even deliberately create some battles for those low-level tribes to let them continue to grow.
Of course, for the third-class suzerain-seat tribe, of course, they will not look at the tribe they rule as another third-class tribe that can compete with them, so once such signs are discovered, the suzerain-master tribe will inevitably directly intervene or even exterminate. Therefore, the emergence of a new third-class tribe will inevitably be accompanied by the destruction of the old third-class tribe, but occasionally there will be some more exceptional circumstances, such as the Savage Land incident that Sean is secretly planning now.
Therefore, the Breaking Wind Tribe and the Snow Wind Tribe are both third-class tribes, and these two tribes fight each other. If it's a small fight, then it's naturally no problem, but at the moment, this is no different from the blood revenge of the human kingdom, so it stands to reason that the Eye of the Storm tribe will definitely intervene, even if the Eye of the Storm tribe has not elected a new chieftain now, but the Great Witch Festival and the Tribal Elders are still there, then it is impossible for the entire tribe to fall into political paralysis, so even if the eye of the storm is in civil strife because of the matter of the chieftain's heir, it will definitely not let the Broken Wind Tribe and the Snow Wind Tribe fight.
After all, in the wilderness, the third-class tribe is no longer cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will.
But the current situation is very different from what Sean knows.
Both of these third-class tribes had their own fiefdoms. And as a third-class tribe, there will definitely be other fourth-class and fifth-class tribes attached to it, so when these two tribes fight completely, those small tribes will be involved. This kind of loss is very tragic for the wilderness, and this is also the fundamental reason why the high-ranking tribes will prohibit the third-class tribes from fighting thoroughly, of course, if it is just a small fight. Or it is a conflict caused by the competition for interests in some territory, which is generally ignored by the higher tribes.
After all, the Savage Land is a world that truly believes in the naked law of the jungle.
Soon. Sean told what he knew about the situation in the wild land.
Hear that Sean actually knows so much about the Savage Lands. Not only the two Highland Elves of the Snowwind Tribe were surprised, but even Saloki. Princess Snow Wind was also horrified. Then, Sean realized that these highland elves would be so surprised, after all, the positions and camps of the two sides are different, and they don't know anything about the affairs of the human realm, even if they know the things of the Dao, they are all outdated news - the knowledge of the outside world in the wild land can only be released through the news released by the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance. and the war with the slave catchers and the armies of the surrounding human nations.
And the veracity of the information learned in such a circumstance full of limitations can be imagined.
On the other hand, as an outsider who has never lived in the Savage Lands, he knows so much about the affairs of their Savage Lands. It can even be said that he has a thorough insight into everything about them, how can this make the three people of the Snow Wind Tribe not frightened? Especially the princess of the Snowwind Tribe, Saloki. Snow Wind, the princess known for her wisdom in the tribe, knew an outsider better than anyone else about all the dangers that could come with the wilderness.
"You don't have to worry." Sean reacted and immediately spoke, "The reason why I know so much about the Savage Lands is that I have been in the Savages for a long time, and I have a lot of friends in the Savages, so these are what I have seen and heard from my own experience. …… Believe me, you won't find a second person here in the human kingdom with my patience and perseverance. ”
Hearing Sean's words, whether it was a comfort or an excuse, but at least it was a little more reassuring.
It's just that at this moment, Saloki. Xue Feng has been completely vigilant.
"I know what you want to say, but I won't agree to you until I understand the situation thoroughly." Sean looked at the highland elf of the snowwind tribe who was about to die, and felt that the loss of fighting energy in his body was accelerating, so he immediately spoke, of course, there were also some factors in his heart trying to change the topic.
The Highland Elf glanced at Princess Saloki, then turned his head to look at Sean as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Excellency knows the Wild Lands so well, then you should know that the Eye of the Storm Tribe is also one of the gathering places of our Highland Elves in the Wild Lands, right?" ”
Sean nodded.
The Eye of the Storm Tribe is not only a gathering place for the Highland Elves, but also a gathering place for the Grey Elves and the Prairie Elves.
Sean is still very clear about this.
After seeing Sean nod, the Highland Elf guard of the Snow Wind Tribe continued, "Actually...... The chieftains of the Snowwind Tribe and the Broken Wind Tribe were founded by the Eye of the Storm after a failed bid for the Chieftain's successor list. So strictly speaking, whether it's our Snow Wind Tribe or the Breaking Wind Tribe, our two tribes and the Storm Tribe are all in the same line. …… If the Eye of the Storm tribe had identified an heir, then our two tribes might be hostile to each other, but it would never have been possible to fight to this extent because of this, but ......"
"You're trying to tell me that because the new chief of the Eye of the Storm tribe has not been decided, you Wind Breaker and Snow Wind want to compete for the position of this chieftain?" Sean said with some surprise that this news was something he had never heard of in the game, "So this fight is not a new outburst of anger ignited by old hatred at all, but actually a competition for the heirs of the Eye of the Storm tribe?" ”
"Allow me to correct your claim." The guard suddenly coughed violently, and his whole person's breath also withered a little, "It's the most difficult competition." …… As long as one of our Snowwind Tribe and Breaking Wind Tribe wins, then we can inherit the position of the chief of the Eye of the Storm tribe and completely dominate the entire Eye of the Storm tribe. …… And Her Royal Highness Princess Saloki is the most qualified candidate in our Snow Wind Tribe to participate in this competition. ”
Hearing this, Sean was stunned.
If this is the case, then it can indeed be explained why the two third-class tribes of the Snow Wind Tribe and the Broken Wind Tribe are spelled like this, but the reason why the Eye of the Storm, the suzerain, still did not intervene, after all, the qualitative nature of this battle is not "civil strife", but "heir election", so the nature is naturally different.
However, this has a completely different result from the history of Shaun Dao.
"Your Excellency...... Can I, please, take our princess to the secret rendezvous of our Snowwind tribe? ”
Almost as soon as the guard's words fell, an electronic sound instantly sounded in Sean's mind.
You have triggered a limited-time mission. (To be continued......)
