The Bonebreaker's wooden house is very spacious, but it is a bit leaky, and there are gaps everywhere where light can penetrate. With the kobold's architectural craftsmanship, this hall can accommodate a gathering of 4-50 people. There is also a 2-story wooden building upstairs belonging to the Bonebreaker Xiumu. It is already considered their highest craftsmanship.
At least compared to the former Green Field Tribe, this wooden building is much taller in terms of style and structure.
The Bonebreaker was sitting on a wooden bed at the upper end of the hall, which was covered with soft straw mats. These are the craftsmanship of the kobolds in their spare time, which can make people more comfortable when sitting. As a spellcaster who needs a long time to meditate, the place where Bonebreaker meditates is naturally indispensable for these comfortable objects.
"Dear Elder Bonebreaker, thank the earth for giving you health."
Allen sent his blessings on the surface, but in his heart he wished that this old guy would die quickly, but what he had on his face was a friendly smile.
"The earth bless you."
Bonebreaker nodded and accepted Allen's blessing. Although the beliefs between each other are not the earth, as wilderness natives, the earth is also closely related to their feelings and beliefs, so they use the earth to bless each other when they are polite. It's unmistakable.
"We haven't seen him for a month. Patriarch Allen looks a bit more handsome. He looks more and more like a human from the south."
The Bonebreaker asked Allen to sit down, then carefully observed Allen's changes, and couldn't help but jokingly said to Allen.
"Well!"
Allen was embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that he still had pointed, erect ears and his skin was still green, anyone who saw Allen without the fine fuzz would think that he looked very similar to a human. In other words, if Allen were more handsome and taller, then he could definitely pass himself off as an elf if he dyed his skin color.
Because of his current changes, the people in the tribe made many jokes about him, calling him a bastard.
"Maybe I still have human blood in me!"
Allen could only comfort himself in this way, and used a self-deprecating tone to overcome the previous embarrassment, so that Bonecrusher would no longer continue to tease him about this.
"Hahaha, indeed."
Bonecrusher laughed. He hadn't heard such a funny joke in a long time.
"..."
After the two of them exchanged meaningless polite words, Allen seemed to say something unintentionally, which was regarded as bringing the topic to the main topic: "After I survived, I seemed to see the figure of Bugbear, which stumped Elder Bonecrusher. Are there any members of my clan among your clan?"
"Oh, that's just meat animals we caught from the wilderness. How come there are people from your tribe in our tribe!"
Bonecrusher flatly objected.
"But my people have seen it before. Elders, after you attacked our tribe's village, you captured several of my tribe's people. So when I passed by, I wanted to ask the elders."
Allen frowned, as if confused.
"Why, Chief Allen, are you here to raise an army to punish me?"
Bonebreaker's face darkened, and his mood seemed to suddenly turn bad.
"Where, you and I have finally restored peace and we should live in harmony. How could I come here without knowing the basics to cause trouble for the elders!"
Allen quickly said haha and bowed slightly as an apology.
"But if there are really members of my clan in the elder clan, I wonder if I can ask the elders to be noble and release them and return them to my clan. This can also be regarded as witnessing the peaceful coexistence of our two clans."
"It seems that Chief Allen doesn't believe me. That's fine. I'm going to have those greenskins brought over and have Chief Allen identify them carefully to see if they are your tribe."
Bonebreaker's expression was still unhappy, and his gloomy old face was almost dripping with water, but what he said made Allen overjoyed.
If he could pull out the bugbears in the Bone Broken Tribe and identify them, Allen would naturally be able to identify the tribesmen who had lived together for more than ten years.
Someone was called in, and Meyer's dog face appeared in front of Allen, but Allen did not recognize the kobold who had only met once. Bonebreaker whispered a few words in Meier's ear, Meier glanced at Allen's face with ferocious eyes, and then walked out of the house with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look too?"
Bonebreaker waited for Meier to go out for a while, then got up from the wooden bed and said to Allen.
When Allen glanced at Meier's eyes, his spiritual sense began to warn him, as if something bad had happened, making him feel uneasy.
However, it was difficult to get off the tiger at this time. After seeing the Bonebreaker greeting him, Allen ignored him and walked out of the house first, so he could only follow him out of the door.
Figures of bugbears appeared outside the door, but these figures did not move at all. They were already corpses lying limply on the chopping board. Meier, who had just been instructed to go out by the Bonebreaker, was dragging a chopping board that seemed to be used for handling big fish, stacking 4-5 bugbear corpses together and placing them in front of the Bonebreaker's house.
"Look, let me tell you, there are no members of your tribe in our village, only a few meat animals."
Bonebreaker seemed to blame Allen for not trusting him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Allen looked at the familiar faces on the chopping board, and the killing intent in his heart was just a moment away from bursting out. When his pair of dark eyes looked at the Bone Crusher, they seemed to reveal a series of threatening... Blood light.
Allen never expected that the Bone Crusher would be so cruel and ruthless, giving orders to his people to kill his own people in front of him. At this time, the green blood still dripping on the chopping board was silently telling Allen that his tribe would die only a few breaths ago.
A young bugbear cub was now pressed in the middle of the corpse. On the head protruding from it, the pair of lifeless eyes were originally lifeless, but in Allen's view, they seemed to be staring at him unconsciously. Those eyes were questioning why she failed to protect him.
Allen is very familiar with that bear cub. When he was supervising the exercise of a group of cubs during the attack on the jackals, this little cub was the liveliest one among them, and it was also the one that Allen thought was very talented. Perhaps When he grows up, he may not be worse than himself now.
However, everything is false now. The cub has lost its fresh life and can only lie down on the chopping board of the Bone Broken Tribe killing fish. He will never call himself out in a childish tone again.
"Very good, I really learned the elder's methods."
Allen had already put one hand on the two-handed sword behind his back. When the kobolds around him saw his movements, they all became alert and made threatening sounds in their throats. The Bonebreaker who was closest to Allen was still calm and looked back at Allen with a dark smile: "Haha, you think you can really break my bones by threatening me with my people and signing a contract." Are the tribes on equal footing?? You are asking me to hand over your people, that’s ridiculous!!!”
(Well, is this a bit too much for Alan?? I feel a bit cruel!!
However, this is inevitable. If you and I were in the position of the Bone Crusher, we would also choose to use this method to anger the protagonist.
If the protagonist, in a fit of rage, suddenly breaks the contract, then the Bonecrusher's purpose is accomplished. After all, there are not many people among the wilderness natives who can endure humiliation like the protagonist.
Even if the protagonist can bear this breath, the Bonebreaker itself has nothing to lose, right? A few bugbears were left in the village and wasted food. Now, after being killed, they can be used as food for the tribesmen in the village. As long as these guys don't fall into the hands of the protagonist and expand the protagonist's tribe, Bonebreaker can accept them.
Don't think that this is abusing the leader, this is actually just a normal potential confrontation between the leaders of the two tribes. The only difference is that the protagonist is too naive and his opponent is too cruel. )
