Knock's head start was much smoother than Ariadotte's.
At least Ariadotos was silenced by Knock.
Although Knock said it very lightly, he did not immediately open the defense of the Holy Coffin.
After all, he wasn't sure yet whether he could bluff Ariadotte, the old silver coin.
Nok had no idea how shocked Ariadotte was at this moment.
The little guy who was wanted on the black market was actually an important member of the party?
That is the bishop of the Holy Church!
The existence of forces that control an area.
The tauren have not been in the black market for nothing these years.
Although he has never entered the human realm, he relies on the information he has learned in the black market over the years.
The regional bishop of the Holy Church has a higher status than the nobles of the human kingdom.
Of course, the Holy Church has declined somewhat in recent years, but the camels are bigger than the horses.
That's not comparable to orcs like them who have no fixed abode.
Moreover, if what Nook Lane said is true, then for their tribe,
It is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
If nothing else, Enoch Lane must be smart enough to know that he is in trouble here.
Only by relying on their tauren tribe can we get out of trouble.
At that time, as long as Nok Lane promises to continue doing business with him.
Then with the convenience of the black market, the Tauren clan will probably no longer be short of food and medicine.
It's even possible to find metal weapons.
After all, Nook Lane is no longer the helpless young man he was back then.
But he is an important person in charge of a party.
Of course, this all depends on the condition that Nook Lane does not lie.
"Have you really become a bishop?"
Ariadotte couldn't help but ask.
Nok spread his hands and said: "Do I need to lie to you? You can just go to the black market and ask around.
After all, my being canonized as the Bishop of Reims is not a secret in the Kingdom of France.
Coupled with the past two months, it is impossible for the black market not to pay attention to me, a former wanted target. "
Nok's words gave Ariadotte a reassurance, and at the same time, he also felt a little worried.
Since Nok knew that he was wanted on the black market back then, did he know that he had betrayed him?
However, now is not the time to think about this.
Ariadotte calmed down and said to Nok: "Don't worry about this for now.
You put my people down first. "
Nok promised: "Easy to say, easy to say, your people, can I still make things difficult for them?"
But there was no movement on his hands. Instead, he looked at the minotaurs behind Ariadotte with a smile.
When Ariadotte saw this, he still didn't know what Nok meant.
"These are my tribesmen. I heard that they were captured and came here with supplies to redeem them."
"I see, then you are really united, and the redeemers are all working so hard. However,
Since I am your friend, how can you redeem people? Let them take their things back. "
"this……"
"What, Ariadotos, do you think I am not worthy of being your friend? Don't forget,
I still chose your name for you. "
"No, no, I'll let them go back."
"Well, by the way, let those people who came behind me come back too.
I can also help you move these four guys back. "
"Ahem, you know?"
"I know, I know, the forest is big and it's easy to get lost. It's normal to get separated for a while."
Even though Ariadotte was brave enough, he couldn't bear Nok's "naive" ridicule.
However, since his arrangement has been seen through,
Ariadoto has no intention of breaking up with Nok for the time being.
He immediately turned around and said to the tribesmen behind him: "Heijiao stays, and the rest of us take everything back to the village.
I know this human being. Crazy Hoof and the others will be fine. You go back first and talk about it later if you have anything to do. "
Ariadotte's words caused some commotion among the tribe.
Starting from seeing Ariadotte talking and laughing with Nok,
They had already begun to doubt whether the high priest was a collaborator.
Take the opportunity to eliminate the old chief who controls the power within the clan.
But remembering what the high priest said in the village before, even if they had doubts,
They didn't question it on the spot, but discussed it in a low voice. Under the leadership of a more prestigious soldier,
More than thirty people turned around and took back the furs they brought and the weapons hidden under the furs.
"Heijiao, go and tell the people behind you to gather together. They have already seen through it.
Be careful and tell them not to be impulsive. This person is related to the future development of our tribe.
Whether we will be short of medicine and food in the future depends on this person. You must appease your clan members.
Don't let them mess around. "
Since Ariadotte has taken a liking to Noire, he has no intention of hiding it from him.
He also wanted to take this incident as a test to see if Black Horn was qualified to take on the important responsibilities of the Boer people.
After Heijiao heard the high priest's instructions, he realized that the high priest was talking and laughing with the human in front of him. It turned out that they knew each other.
When he thought of this, he looked at the four people hanging with pity.
Haha, this human being knows the high priest, and the high priest even said,
The hope of future medicine and food for the entire village lies in this human being,
That means that there is no way to avenge the four Crazy Hoofs.
Not only can't he repay it, but he will probably have to treat this human being as a distinguished guest!
Heijiao didn't delay and took the order to find someone.
Nok looked at the naked minotaur, walked to the tree where the rope was tied with a smile, and untied the rope from the trunk.
"Ariadotos, you believe me so much, aren't you afraid that I will take them away and then arrest you too?"
When Ariadotte heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he responded with a smile.
"That's impossible, I'm still somewhat confident in my own skills.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare go to the black market alone. "
Nok put the four prisoners down and tried to lift the two unconscious ones.
He walked to the side of where Ariadotte was standing, opened a hole in the holy coffin, and threw the two people out.
Then he closed the opening and turned to look at Ariadoto, who was motionless.
"My sincerity is here, the rest depends on your sincerity."
Ariadotos shook his head and said, "You are still as cautious as before. When do you plan to send those two out?"
Nok stood with his hands folded and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your sincerity in continuing to cooperate.
It must be difficult for your tribe to live in such a harsh forest.
How about it? You guarantee the safety of our father and daughter, and send us out of the forest at the same time,
I provide you with scarce things such as salt and medicine.
If you are used to eating human food, I can also provide you with food. "
Ariadotte looked at Nok who was entering the negotiation state, and also put away the smile and the little calculation on his face.
"What do we need to pay? You have also seen that although this forest is big, there are not many good things.
The only thing that's okay is that it can provide enough food for our tribe. "
Nok looked at Ariadotte and suddenly smiled: "If I said it was free, you probably wouldn't believe it.
Then let me tell you straight, I want your tribe. "
"What! Impossible!"
Ariadoto shouted excitedly.
Nok quickly stretched out his hand: "Stop, stop! My friend, don't get excited! Are all you orcs so barbaric?
I haven't even finished speaking, and you're about to get angry. "
Faced with Nok's calm performance, Ariadotte could only hold back his displeasure and wanted to hear Nok's explanation.
"Old man, old friend, I'm not talking about you, you are still the priest of the tribe. With your bad temper,
I suspect I'm a better priest than you.
Also, your tribe is now reduced to living in seclusion in such deep mountains and forests.
Are you and your people willing to live like this forever?
Even if I can provide you with everything you need, you are willing to be isolated from the world,
No more going out to interact with other races?
If you are unwilling, then do it with me.
Although I am only a small bishop now, I am still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future.
Follow me and you won't suffer. And I don’t need your entire clan to be loyal to me.
All I need is that you provide me with a tauren escort team and be loyal to me.
When the time comes and people get used to having aliens around me,
I can even provide you, the tauren, with shelter and shelter.
Isn't this better than your lonely life living in the deep mountains and old forests? "
Faced with Nok's words, I have to say that Ariadotte was moved.
But he knew that for such a big matter, even if his heart moved, he couldn't make his own decision.
Not to mention, he hasn't figured out what kind of medicine Nok Lane is selling in the gourd.
He doesn't believe in pie in the sky.
Supporting an entire tauren tribe for just one escort team?
It's not worthwhile no matter how you think about it.
What's more, if Nook Lane knew that there were less than a hundred people left in the entire tauren tribe,
I will probably regret my current decision on the spot.
Compared to a small team, Ariadotte felt that Nok was plotting against the entire Tauren tribe.
"Boy Nok, let me tell you frankly, there are not many people left in our tribe now.
If you have your mind set on us, I think you will be disappointed. The tauren can no longer form an army.
Otherwise, do you think we need to hide in the mountains and forests?
No noble can resist the temptation of an orc army. "
When Nok heard this, he immediately cheered.
It’s better to have fewer people! Nok was afraid that there were too many of them!
It’s easy to manage with a small number of people, but it’s also easy to fool people!
At first, Nok was worried that there were too many of them, making it difficult for them to move, and that they would not be fooled by him.
But if there are fewer people now, in order to continue the race, they must also find a suitable living environment for reproduction!
Is there any place in the world that is more suitable for the development of alien races than the gathering place of humans?
Both elves and dwarves can integrate into human society.
Some goblin craftsmen are even hired by some kingdoms as directors of scientific research institutions.
Nok thought that he would get a tauren guard and let people slowly adapt to it.
In the end, getting all the tauren to their own territory will definitely not be a problem.
What?
Nok has no territory?
joke!
The area where the believers of Reims Cathedral are located is his territory of Nok!
Otherwise, why would he bother to train a group of apprentices?
As long as he doesn't fail! The students under him are his weight to control the world!
"Old man, you're wrong to think that way."
Nok advised Ariadotte: "Look, you don't have many people, so you need to recuperate!
But look at it, is such a harsh environment suitable for you to recuperate?
As far as I know, cows like to live in warm places..."
"Damn it! We are humans! We are humans! Not cows! Although we have bull heads and are called minotaurs by you humans,
But we are not cows! "
Ariadotos shouted excitedly at Nok.
Nok had to apologize: "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. You are human beings, not cattle."
Ariadotle said angrily: "It's good to know!"
He also knew that Nok did not do it on purpose. He immediately said: “Do you think we don’t want to find a warm place?
But you don’t know that further south is the Alps, where there is snow all year round and the environment is even worse than in the north.
Where can we go? "
Nok smiled and said: "That's why I asked you to cooperate with me. You see, I have territory, but I lack manpower.
Although I can’t move your entire clan to live on my territory right away.
But I can provide you with what you are missing in life. What you need to pay,
It's just a small team to protect me. Four or five people are enough.
To be honest, you have also seen my current strength. I can capture four of your tribesmen myself.
Do you think I need the protection of your people?
No, all I need is to take them with me and let others know that I conquered a tribe of demihumans.
I'm not afraid to tell you that what I value is not your strength, but your identity.
Is there any more alluring achievement than letting a demi-human race fall into the arms of the Holy Lord?
I have gained merit and you have received protection. Isn't this good? "
Nok's words made the Minotaur Ariadoto's eyes widen.
He didn't even know that Black Horn had brought other tribesmen over.
What he was considering at this time was Nok's proposal.
Accepting Nok'Lane's terms would be tantamount to giving up their tauren faith.
But after so many years of wandering, do the tauren still have faith?
Apart from their lineage of priests, there is no other belief in the tribe.
The only thing they want is to survive, reproduce, and continue their bloodline.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not impossible to persuade the tribesmen to agree to Nok Lane's conditions.
If we could rest and recuperate on human territory for a hundred or two hundred years and allow the Boer race to multiply to more than a thousand people,
It doesn't seem impossible.
If there are thousands of people, then the Boer tribe can be considered to have a firm foothold among mankind.
Just like the Fox tribe, although they are dependent on humans, it is said that the tribe has multiplied to tens of thousands.
All of them are mainly engaged in business, and the chamber of commerce they established is already the second largest chamber of commerce in the world.
If it weren't for human restrictions, even the position of the First Chamber of Commerce would have to be replaced!
Thinking about it this way, it is not so uncomfortable to take refuge in Knock Lane.
What's more, Nock Lane is already a bishop at a young age.
What about another twenty or thirty years?
As Nok Lane's status increased, they became Nok Lane's vassals.
Will all boats rise with the rising tide?
Maybe, by then, they will be able to make their own decisions and get a piece of territory!
