Chapter 216: Old Somme
Ash was at that station, his tail was on the side of the arena, his head was already on the side of the arena, and his wings were spread, almost squeezing the entire arena into an open space. I have to say that after leaving Moyun Mountain, Xiao Gray's size has grown a lot.
Long Jiu's expression was wonderful, how could this be compared! There was no place to stay!
Even if there are any powerful guards under your command who can fight with such a behemoth, but people have wings! What else can you do when you fly above 10,000 meters in the air?
"Little brother Tianxian, you ...... It's a little unkind!" Long Jiu frowned.
Tian Xian smiled bitterly, such an obviously unkind idea was not come up by himself, but Gu Li......
"This, Your Highness, our side is weak and weak, and we are wounded! It is true that no one can fight, and Huoyun Eye is indeed a high-level intelligent life active in the Eastern Kingdom, and it is definitely a kind of alien race! You see, this is still very in line with the rules!"
This is clearly a scoundrel! Long Jiuqi's eyelids began to jump 'suddenly' again.
Looking at the roaring little gray in the arena, Long Jiu thought twice, "Okay, this one doesn't need to be compared, we just admit defeat!"
"Your Highness has agreed!" Tian Xian immediately said.
Long Jiu was so angry in his heart, he never thought that Tian Xian would move this trick in the end, although he really wanted to get Gu Li, but he had no concept of Xiao Ash's strength at all, and no matter how wise a spirit beast was, it was not like a person who could discuss everything, in case it went crazy and killed his own guard, it would inevitably outweigh the loss.
Tu Ge won one. Gu Li won three battles, Xiao Ash won without a fight, and all five candidates for Long Jiu were defeated, and Tianxian won completely.
Seeing this result, Long Jiu also had no choice but to smile helplessly, but he didn't seem to be so depressed, "Although there are some surprises, I have finally learned a lesson, as for those alien races, I will leave it to you!"
Long Jiu immediately glanced at Du Du. Du Du quickly nodded and left. Soon there was a horn sound in the Wolf Tooth Guard, and the tone of the horn changed several times in a row, and a large number of Wolf Tooth Guard soldiers of the alien race besieging the mountain began to loosen the encirclement and gathered towards Long Jiu's side in an orderly manner.
Tian Xian was overjoyed when he saw this: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Long Jiu had already forgotten what he had just done in the blink of an eye. Haha laughed: "You're welcome. And it's a long way to go. We're going to see each other, and now, I'd rather have Guli under my command. Be careful, if you don't pay attention, she'll be mine!"
"Your Highness, just come and grab it!" Tian Xian also laughed.
This Long Jiu has no resentment in his eyes, but he is open-minded and tolerant by nature, and Tianxian has a good impression of him.
Long Jiu said with a little pity: "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to look at the power of the evil eye, huh...... Forget it, I believe there will be a chance soon. ”
After losing the bet, Long Jiu still seemed to be in high spirits, stood up and said: "Prepare the horse, let's go back to the imperial capital, the first one to enter the gate of the imperial capital will be rewarded!"
The guards naturally knew the temperament of this highness, and they all agreed to lead their horses and prepare to win the jackpot.
Seeing that Long Jiu was about to leave, Tian Xian couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you said that we will have a chance soon......"
Long Jiu smiled and said: "Little brother Tianxian, you don't seem to know your situation very well, since you have the evil eye, but anyone who has the world in mind, whether it is a benevolent person or a tyrant, does not want to get this powerful power, even if you can't exert the full strength of the evil eye now, but as long as this kind of deterrence is enough, as for me, ......"
After a pause, Long Jiu still restrained the pride on his face a little, "The royal family has given me a natural mission, and I was born to be a ruler. ”
Stretching out his fist, Long Jiu smiled and said, "I'm sure we'll meet again soon." ”
Tian Xian raised his fist and touched Long Jiu, this is a common etiquette in the human continent, but most of them are most prevalent among adventurers and the like, and the great nobles seem to disdain to use this simple and crude etiquette.
Long Jiu quickly jumped on the war horse brought by the guard, this war horse was extremely majestic, and the physique was a little exaggerated, it didn't seem to be an ordinary horse. Picking up the reins, Long Jiu called Du Du and ordered: "Ask the soldiers to help the villagers rebuild the village, distribute your food and clothing to them, and I will send someone to give you additional supplies at that time." ”
"Don't bother Your Highness about these small things, your subordinates will do it well!" Du Du replied respectfully.
Long Jiu nodded, and said loudly to Tian Xian: "I lost today, but I will definitely win it back in the future, you take good care of this thing, although it is of no other use, but when you arrive in the imperial capital, no one will stop you when you go to see me!"
Throwing something to Tianxian, Long Jiu turned his horse's head, "Don't leave it at that, there will be a period later!"
Tianxian felt that this Long Jiu was not bad, but now he couldn't wait for him to leave, and he didn't look at it when he took it, "There will be a period later!"
Long Jiu left with his personal escort, and in the distance, he could still hear everyone's laughter, although he lost the bet this time, it seemed that Long Jiu was still very happy.
When this group of people walked away, Tian Xian looked at the things in his hand, this is a jade pendant, since entering the human continent, Tian Xian has seen too many jade plates, but this jade pendant with complex and exquisite carvings is the first time to see it, is this what kind of royal gold medal is this?
Tianxian turned over and looked at the jade pendant, but except for a lifelike dragon carved on it, there was not even half a word.
"Uh......h Woo............"
Tianxian suddenly heard a long horn, and the wolf fang guard had regrouped and was about to leave here.
Du Du came to Tian Xian and said in a rough voice: "Your Highness has already ordered, you can take those alien races away by yourself, and the Longyuan Empire will no longer hold them accountable for trespassing, but they had better not do anything to kill themselves, hum!"
Finally, he glared at Gu Li angrily, Du Du turned and left, and the five thousand wolf tooth guards quickly moved with Du Du, and Tian Xian saw that they seemed to go in the direction of a ruined village in the distance, and it seemed that they had really gone to help those villagers rebuild the village.
"This Dragon Nine guard is really powerful. Guli Da Ra stood behind Tian Xian, crossed his waist. The face is full of merit.
Tianxian couldn't help laughing, "Got it! You have the most credit, when I go back, I just want to get some delicious food for Xiao Ash, I must count you as a share!"
"What?" gully glared, "why should I be like that gray-skinned lizard?
"You will, in fact, there is not much more than it!" Tian Xian joked, casually throwing the jade pendant to Gu Li, "Do you know this?"
Gu Li snorted angrily and took the jade pendant and looked at it, and immediately threw it back. "I don't know!"
The day is helpless. "Well, what do you want, I'm going to be a pauper now!"
Gu Li suddenly showed a sly smile, "I want to ...... Open up a few more acupuncture veins!"
"No!" Tian Xian flatly refused. "You have to understand that this is a forbidden technique! a power that breaks the balance structure of your body. You're almost at the limit right now......"
"That is, it hasn't arrived yet. Is that right?" asked Guli rhetorically.
"You woman who doesn't know whether to live or die!" I ......" Tianxian couldn't help but have a little anger on his face.
"No!" Gu Li interrupted again, "I know the difference between life and death better than anyone now!"
Tianxian was slightly stunned and couldn't help but be speechless.
Gul She ...... The body is on the verge of collapse! Will you survive? It also depends on her luck......
"At this time, do you think I still care about anything?" Gu Li stretched out his hand and nodded Tian Xian's forehead, "I can feel that my current strength is not Zhuoya's opponent! This is my last battle, I will fight all my life to reach the strongest state!"
Tianxian looked at Gu Li, Gu Li also looked at Tianxian, the two looked at each other for a long time, Tianxian sighed, lowered his head and took the jade pendant into his arms, "Okay, no matter what...... It doesn't seem like a time for me to refuse, and if you survive, thank me!"
"I will, if I survive. Gu Li smiled brightly.
While speaking, the aliens on the low mountain not far away have all come here, they are all yellow and thin, but they are very excited, there were some aliens who had a cold attitude towards Tianxian before, especially when they saw Tianxian and scolded Mutu, but now Tianxian Shun lì rescued all the aliens, just now everyone on the mountain bag saw the process of gambling, and now they looked at Xiao Ash and Tianxian, as if they had seen the gods of faith.
Before Tian Xian could react, the alien race around him who had already knelt on the ground shouted "Divine Messenger!"
"These guys...... What should I do?" Gu Li frowned at the aliens, "Just let them go?"
Tian Xian glanced at these aliens of all sizes who looked at him with extremely reverent eyes, full of wounds but still insisted on kneeling there, and suddenly he couldn't hate it in his heart......
Although these guys are savage, they are not necessarily evil......
"Who, you guys, came up with the idea to rob a human village!?" asked Tian Xian.
One sentence shut the mouths of all aliens.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, all of them are full of embarrassment.
"Do you want to lie to the divine envoy?" Tian Xian's gaze swept over the aliens, and everyone immediately avoided Tian Xian's gaze.
"It's Mutu!"
After a few minutes of silence, an old Vic suddenly whispered.
Tianxian's gaze immediately fell on Mutu, who was so frightened that he shouted at the old Bic, "Old Somme......! You're lying!"
Old Somme, who was very old and had a wrinkled light on the door of the Bic people, immediately shouted as if he had been humiliated by Yan Zòng: "Mutu! You are really a shame for the elves! We didn't want to loot that village at that time, it was you who decided to be the first to break in and steal food, and we were later besieged by a large number of human soldiers, and many warriors died in vain! Their souls will not let you go! After you die, the elven gods will let your soul go to hell!"
Mu Tu's face was blue, "You...... You ......"
Tianxian had already come to Mu Tu and looked at him coldly, "Is it true?"
"I ...... I'm not because of it, it's just ......" there was a look of fear in Mutu's eyes.
"I understand!" Seeing that Mu Tu was hesitant, how could he not understand, "Do you know that in the human continent, killing people is to pay for their lives?"
Suddenly a little blood on Mu Tu's face disappeared cleanly.
Tian Xian looked at the ruined village in the distance, then looked at the nearby forest, and said, "Let's go to the forest first to get some food, and then restore the body." Then I have something to say to you. ”
The aliens said yes, these days they eat grass leaves, gnaw grass roots, and their hungry eyes are green!
Hundreds of aliens rushed into the forest like hungry and mad beasts, and at this time they did not care about their own injuries, and all of them went out, and those who could find wild fruits looked for wild fruits, and those who hunted wild beasts hunted wild beasts, filled water bladders, and set up fires. For a time, chickens flew and dogs jumped in the forest.
It didn't take long. The sight of the beasts, which had only been roasted and medium-rare, had been torn apart early, and everyone was gulping them up, and hundreds of aliens were sitting together and gobbling them up.
Tian Xian has been watching these aliens go crazy busy. His face was thoughtful.
"Your Excellency. It's our baked food. ”
Tianxian was slightly stunned. Old Somme was found standing respectfully in front of him with a fragrant hare that had been roasted on a tree branch.
"It's ripe. Old Somme immediately added.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry. You've been hungry for a long time, so fill your stomach first. ”
The Beeks are naturally thin and tall, as long as a hemp stalk, with prominent cheekbones, and two long fangs are their characteristics, they are naturally weak, but they have four arms, which gives them an advantage in battle, and in the Eastern Kingdoms, the Beeks, although not as strong as the lion tribe, are also one of the most powerful tribes.
Old Somme was clearly very old, and the Vic man's bald head was as hard as a stone, and his forehead was wrinkled only when he reached the last stage of his life.
However, the Vic people live a long lifespan, usually living for more than 200 years.
Seeing that the sky was idle, Som's typical expressionless Bick face showed a little caution, "Lord God, this food is indeed cooked, please eat a little, and at the same time...... Please calm your anger, we will never do anything to attack humanity again!"
Only then did Tianxian realize that this old Vic man had come to apologize, and seeing that he was a little nervous, it seemed that he was very afraid that he would hate them because of this incident.
Taking the hare, Tian Xian smiled, "I know how to do this, you don't have to worry, we only need these for food, and take the rest back." ”
Tearing off a few large pieces of rabbit meat, Tian Xian replaced most of the hares.
Old Somme was delighted, and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Lord Divine Envoy." ”
Old Somme, who was full of joy, wanted to leave, but suddenly turned around, as if he remembered something, and his face became a little embarrassed, "Lord God, there is one thing I want to ask you to promise. ”
"What's the matter?"
"We had a conflict with the human army before, and many people died, and we want to recover their corpses and bring them back to the Eastern Kingdom. Speaking of the previous incident, old Somme still felt a little guilty.
Tianxian was slightly surprised.
It makes sense to retrieve the corpses, but it would be ...... to bring them back to the Eastern Kingdoms
"Bury them here, and when you return to the Eastern Kingdom, you will cross the Moyun Mountains, and when you return to the Eastern Kingdom, the corpses will be rotten to dry bones. ”
Old Somme actually insisted on shaking his head this time, and said in a low voice: "Even if it is a bone, I want to bring them back, although the Eastern Kingdom is barren and dangerous everywhere, but it is our hometown, I took those children out of the Eastern Kingdom, but they can no longer enjoy the richness of the human continent, at least, I want them to rest in their hometown." ”
Looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, old Somme's eyes were sad: "It's all my fault. ”
"You...... Is it the leader of another search party?" Tian Xian immediately realized this.
Old Somme smiled wryly, "Yes. ”
Tian Xian couldn't help but be in awe of the old Vic man in front of him, and he could still pity the dead in the oppressed situation, which was a kind of piety, even a great feeling, no matter who the other party was, it was worthy of respect.
After thinking for a while, Tian Xian said: "I think, it's better to burn their corpses and take their ashes back to the Eastern Kingdom, if it's bones, it's thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to bring them back intact, I don't think you want the corpses of your children to become fragmented after they die, right?"
Old Somme looked at the sky, and after a long time, he couldn't help but be moved, bowed and saluted: "The god is right, in this case, those children should be able to rest in peace, if you don't object, I will send someone to retrieve their bodies now." ”
"Wait a minute, let everyone eat and rest. ”
"Okay, okay...... Okay!" Old Somme said yes again and again, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Tian Xian, and then left very excitedly.
"Hmm...... This is the first time I've come into contact with these aliens. Gu Li was leaning against the tree behind Tian Xian, eating the still greasy rabbit meat without being too hot at all.
"What's wrong?" Tian Xian was slightly strange.
"More human than I thought it would be, and albeit a little savage, unexpectedly loyal to something. "Three times five divided by two to eat up the rabbit meat, Gu Li sucked her fingers, "The meat is well roasted!"
"The fact that they were able to climb over the Moyun Mountains to get here is a kind of faith in itself. Tian Xian looked at Old Som, he returned to the clansmen, and said something excitedly, his clansmen were all happy, it seemed that Old Somme couldn't wait to tell everyone the news.
"If it were a human being, I don't know if I would be willing to return to my hometown with the remains of my clansmen thousands of miles away......
"No!" Gu Li began to set her eyes on the rabbit meat that had not yet moved, "because human beings actually have no faith!"
"Perhaps......"
It didn't take long for hundreds of aliens to eat and drink, and they had not eaten or drunk for many days, and many of them were lying on the ground, with big round bellies, and it seemed that they didn't want to move anymore.
"Get up, and if you're full, I still have something for you to do!" Tian Xian stood up. (To be continued......)
