The patriarch knew that he was wrong, and he did not resist Solandale's rebuke, he lowered his head and said faintly: "Your Highness, I know that you have a grudge against us, and it is normal to hold a grudge against us. We admit that the recent invasion caused great damage to the Kingdom, but ... That's not what we intended! ”

"We have lived in the Far North ice field for generations, and we have long been familiar with the environment there, caves, snowy forests, mountains... There are many places where you can settle down, and you don't have to sleep in the open. ”

"We also have snow hares, elk, yaks, and hardy vegetables and fruits... There is no shortage of supplies, and the vast majority of people do not covet the interior, and have long regarded the ice field as their home, and are willing to live there for generations to come. ”

"This invasion is not what everyone wants to launch at all, but the man named Jupiter and his saber-toothed tiger tribe are wielding a butcher's knife at us, forcing everyone to swear allegiance to them with killing and blood, and anyone who dares to disobey is dead, and we are forced to submit to him!"

"Jupiter conquered the tribes by force and tied them all to his chariot, and we have no way at all! The invasion was not our intention, we were all forced! If we had a choice, how could we leave our homeland where we had lived for generations and go south? ”

For a moment, Solandale was silent, if it was really as the patriarch said, those coerced civilians were indeed innocent, and the guilty should be those who picked up the intruders with swords, not the unarmed people now.

So what to do now... Is it to let these coerced innocents in? Still is...

Solandale was a little hesitant and couldn't make up her mind, so she subconsciously looked at Perseus beside her.

Persius only listened silently, not responding to Solandale's gaze at all, and the implication of this action was also obvious - you call the shots, don't ask me.

Solandale was in a dilemma, and finally decided not to give a quick reply and let out more information, so the conversation changed: "I have a question, how did Jupiter conquer the other tribes?" I have the impression that the Sabertooth Tiger tribe is not the most powerful force in the Far North Ice Field, but their sudden rise to dominate the north this year is very unusual. ”

"And in the course of the previous battle, I observed that the bodies of the saber-toothed tiger warriors are very strange, they are not afraid of swords and axes, and the wounds can heal quickly after being injured, and it is extremely difficult to be killed, what do you know about this?"

The patriarch seemed to think of something extremely terrifying, and his face turned pale: "I was just about to tell you about this, Your Highness, that kind of abnormal change is not a cultivation or exercise, but something injected into their bodies. ”

Solandale was puzzled: "Injection? If I understand correctly, you mean... If you inject something into your body with a syringe, your body will get that kind of abnormal power? ”

The patriarch trembled, "Yes, that's what it means. As you said, the Sabertooth Tiger tribe was not originally powerful, not even ranked in the top ten among the major tribes of the Far North Ice Field, and Jupiter was only an unknown person. ”

"But I don't know from one day on, the warriors of the saber-toothed tiger tribe have all changed, invincible in the war, their speed is faster than the snow wolf, their strength is greater than that of the tiger, they can easily kill our warriors, and we cannot threaten their lives, and the damage of the sword soldiers is useless."

"Jupiter led his warriors to conquer other tribes, annexed, expanded, slaughtered anyone who would not submit to him, and proclaimed himself lord of the northern regions, and finally led the invasion of the people."

Solandelle pursed her lips and whispered to Lan Xian, who was born as an alchemist, "Lord Lan Xian, is this way of gaining strength through injections theoretically possible?" ”

Lan Xian nodded without hesitation: "Of course, not only injections, as long as they can be integrated into the body and absorbed, oral administration can also gain power, and this is the case with our Hitch family's potions." ”

"It's just... Our family has been studying potions for so many years, and what is recorded in the book, explored by ourselves, and accidentally generated... Regardless of the source, no potion can achieve the effect of flesh and blood being quick and not afraid of knives and guns. I don't understand, where did the kind of stuff that Jupiter injected come from? ”

As soon as he said this, the patriarch's face turned even paler, and his voice trembled almost as if he remembered a terrible nightmare: "I have witnessed that scene as to the origin of all this... You may think I'm crazy, but I swear by my life that it's all true. ”

"That place, it's an ancient temple on the ice field, and there is a... Damn, I don't know if I can call it a 'creature', it is entrenched in the stone wall deep in the ancient temple, its body forming an open web, which looks like a mixture of flesh and organs, a full few tens of meters high. ”

"It had no head, no discernible limbs, no shape, no extension, and some sticky tissue around the edges of its body, like... Like a huge lump of flesh breathing in front of you, I swear, it's more horrible and evil than any creature I've ever seen. ”

"And what was injected into the bodies of those tribal warriors was the blood that was drawn from that creature's body, the blood was sticky and black, and it smelled strange."

Lan Xian's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he raised his hand to interrupt the patriarch: "If I understand correctly, you mean that by extracting that creature's blood and injecting it into your body, you can obtain that kind of flesh and blood fast-growing power?" ”

Without hesitation, the patriarch replied: "Yes, my lord, but not everyone can succeed, and there are many people who are injected with that kind of blood who die on the spot, and only strong warriors can withstand the test. ”

A mysterious light flashed in Lan Xian's eyes for some reason, he shook his head and said in a deep voice to Solandelle, "Your Royal Highness Princess, in my opinion, this is pure nonsense. ”

"Anyone who has read a little bit knows that blood has a very special coagulability, and some blood of different blood types will coagulate when mixed together, causing the body to die."

"The blood phase between people is still like this, and the consequences of mixing the blood of non-homogeneous organisms can be imagined, let alone the so-called creatures that do not know how to describe it. This man is clearly misleading, and he is probably trying to hide something. ”

The patriarch's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt and moved forward several steps, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and spoke to Solandale with a crying voice: "Your Highness! I swear I didn't lie! Please, take my word for it! I can take responsibility for every word I say! ”
