As the heads of the tribes in the central grasslands of the Wind Continent, both Yasi and Yagorens have the reason and confidence to dare to shout against unknown powerful beings, so if they want to be on an equal footing with each other on this point, Duan Qing also had to come up with a background that matched their confidence to reach this point - first it was a small black spot, and then it slowly enlarged as it continued to float forward. That went against common sense and floated The floating island in the sky gradually appeared clearly in the distance on the horizon as Duan Qing's words fell.
"That's where the God's Messenger is now."
Slapping his hands, Duan Qing showed a helpless expression to the two clan leaders in front of him: "I know this may be a bit contrary to common sense, but you two should also know the current situation. Only in this way can our situation be relatively Safer."
"Understood, of course we understand, because the beast tide is approaching." Duan Qing's words naturally aroused Yasi's low response: "Although it seems that the arrival of the beast tide is like this divine envoy and her The same thing that the floating island brought together..."
"Of course it has nothing to do with us. The disasters caused by beast tides are famous in the Wind Continent." Duan Qing issued his own warning with his eyes wide open, and then smiled and pointed to the adventurer's manual in his hand: "And these I have some guesses as to why the beast tide has not stopped moving eastward."
"After all, there is a huge Hulun tribe following them."
As if mentioning a name that shouldn't be mentioned, Yasi, the patriarch of the Zhuangsi tribe, and Yagorens, the patriarch of the Yagorun tribe, closed their mouths at the same time. The silence that fell into them for a moment then brought him and the rest of them together. The tribesmen who were also silent kept exchanging glances with each other: "...the Hulun tribe."
"That's right, it's that Hulun tribe! Really, one trouble after another."
"I don't think this is any trouble. After all, the other party obviously came with the intention of being recognized. Although considering the treatment they suffered here, the return now may be a little angry."
"Is it just as simple as anger? They will attack people from all our tribes. Think about the hidden power those guys showed before they left - if they really created that kind of devastation during this time As for weapons, the hatred accumulated previously..."
"If you are referring to the Wind Wheel Cannon, then we have already seen it." Duan Qing smiled at the two clan leaders who were discussing in low voices, closed the Adventurer's Manual and bowed to the front. : "In this regard, there may be a lot of information that the two of us can exchange with each other."
"Really? Ah, yes." There was an obvious pause in the reply, and the young patriarch of the Zhuangsi clan also showed a somewhat thoughtful expression on his face: "I seem to have heard similar news a few days ago. , and if it is the Hulun tribe, they will definitely not sit still and wait for death in front of the beast tide..."
"Do you think the Hulun people are the same insidious and cunning people like you?" His soliloquy also predictably aroused Yagorens' cynicism: "Although their behavior is called Not as aboveboard, but still much stronger than you, at least they have no intention of hiding their strength when the promotion ceremony is about to begin, and they won't even fight back when they are beaten."
"But they will still sacrifice those who are dependent on them. After all, they are all-"
"You don't have to stress about it, we all agree on this."
Once again interrupting what Yasi was about to blurt out, Yagorens inadvertently glanced in the direction of Duan Qing: "We would never have made a different choice in that situation."
"...Ha, now that you, the iron-headed one, have said so." So Yasi also let out a low sigh of his own: "But in this case...you and the small tribes behind you should have seen it. Are you over this situation?"
The last half of the sentence was spoken by the young patriarch in the direction of Duan Qing. The latter nodded his head as if he understood what the other party was implying, and at the same time turned behind him: "We We have a little disagreement with the Hulun people, so from this point of view, we should have the same stance."
"Very good, I finally found some reasons to cooperate." Yasi patted his palms appreciatively: "Then there is only one final problem left."
"Show us your strength."
He glanced in the direction of Yagorens, who was standing silently, and at the same time waved his fingers slightly at the commanders and elders waiting behind him. The crowd of people also moved with the seemingly unchanged figures of the left-behind people, and they kept jumping between the tents of the Zhuang Si clan settlement behind them. It seemed that he had no intention of paying attention to these potential changes. Duan Qing, who was standing on the spot, turned his back to them and looked into the distance of the horizon, until the gradually growing black spots showed their own in the blue sky. When the appearance and even the outline of the windproof barrier surrounding it began to become clear, the gray-robed magician once again took out the communication gem in his arms: "Okay, my dear mentor, now we have Has time paid attention to me?"
"Of course, my dear apprentice." Naxia's slender and sweet girlish voice then sounded from the other end of the magic communication stone: "And - you'd better tell me the reason why you haven't returned the communication signal during this time. Tell me honestly."
"Can this matter be blamed on me?" Duan Qing pretended to make a few strange noises: "It's obviously you who didn't respond, okay?"
"Okay, I admit that there have been some accidents recently." As the sight of the floating towers floating in the sky began to become clearer, the voice from the other end of the communication stone had a more helpless feeling: "Waiting for you Let’s talk about it after we get up here… Well, how about the task assigned to you?”
"The floating island has already entered the central grassland, why are you asking this kind of question?" Duan Qing smacked his lips and complained listlessly: "We can even see you and your masterpiece. Slowly pretending to be a clumsy cloud on the horizon - yes, I am referring to me and the other grassland tribesmen."
"Oh? How many are there in total?"
“It’s more than you can imagine.”
Amidst the low-pitched reminders from Xue Ling Huan Bing beside him, Duan Qing looked behind him and pretended not to hear anything, looking at the clan leaders and clansmen on the left and right: "Even if it enters the range that you can control, These people are probably beyond the range you can teleport, not to mention they seem to have some doubts about your existence——"
"Yeah?"
Before Duan Qing could finish these words, a dazzling purple light projection suddenly appeared above Duan Qing's head. The image of Nasia's simple long hair gradually appeared to everyone present as the outline was clearly outlined. In front of his eyes: "Let me see... Oh, it turns out he is the chief of the Zhuangsi tribe and the Yagolon tribe."
"Why, didn't your last clan leader leave you some legends about divine envoys?"
There was a bit of ruthless indifference in the girl's voice, but the image covered with purple light revealed a bit of majesty. Coupled with the slender and soft appearance that originally belonged to Naxia, between Yasi and In front of Yagorens, there was a hint of banishment: "——Master God Envoy."
"Well, it seems that you still have some discernment, so I don't need to waste any more words." In the voice of purple light, Nasia's words completely spread to a higher range: "Of course, if You do have some grudges against me and my subordinates, so I don’t mind excluding you from my selection list.”
"Lord God Envoy!"
"Don't panic, this is just my personal opinion."
The words filled with energy fluctuations then suppressed the voices of the tribal chiefs who were half kneeling on the ground. At the same time, they also eliminated some of Nasia's original look of disdain: "Everything has passed. After such a long time, I can no longer represent the attitude of Shenshan. If you can win the favor of Shenshan and other divine envoys in other ways, then you don’t have to take my words to heart."
"In addition, if you still have a little respect for the sacred mountain, then value me and my messenger a little more." The image of the banished immortal outlined by the magic wrinkled his curved eyebrows, and then followed Nasia gradually moved away from the narrowed voice and began to dissipate and separate: "Prepare your candidates and your decisions."
"I will be on top of the tower, waiting for your final reply."
Snapped.
The fluctuations like phantom bubbles gradually disappeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes. For a while, only a little breeze passed through the silent silence among the few people present. Duan Qing, who was wearing a gray magic robe, just now He exchanged glances with the other teammates around him, then turned to face the other two tribal leaders present again: "Okay, our sincerity should be obvious enough."
"Uh, what is Master Messenger's plan...?"
"Go and prepare the teleportation runes."
Duan Qing tilted his head and was about to leave, turning sideways and replied: "Since the envoy and her territory are almost here, we finally have a chance to return."
"We have to go back and report what happened in the past few days."
*************************************
"So you've just been holding on to the banner and holding on until now?"
After a while, Duan Qing's figure gradually appeared above the floating tower in the still dim tower. The gray-robed magician who climbed up the old steps finally appeared again. In front of Naxia, the beautiful magician's frivolous question came to her ears: "You actually dare to negotiate terms with the chiefs of those tribes. You are really courageous."
"I'm not forced by you." Duan Qing spread his hands with a look of helplessness, and turned his eyes to the side view of Naxia who was lying on a bench: "Besides, isn't this what you meant? ? Otherwise, how else can we understand the words you told me before?"
"After all, you have to learn to be self-reliant." The magic light between his fingers kept flashing back and forth in Duan Qing's eyes, and Naxia, who outlined one rune after another, replied without looking back: "The repair of the magic tower is at a critical stage. , I don’t have more time to look after you all the time, you have to learn to use the resources at hand to survive without my protection.”
"How do you think we survived during the period when you didn't resurrect the corpse? We adventurers have much more ways to survive than you." Walking behind the runes that kept flying away and dissipating, Duan Qing said He waved his hands with disdain: "If it weren't for your appearance, there would be no need for us to take risks in front of those big tribes - why."
"How is the repair progress of the Magic Tower?"
Pointing to the back of the other party's sitting figure and other tables, chairs and furniture of unknown purpose arranged around him, the gray-robed magician slowly frowned: "How long will it take for us to have a real base?" ?”
"Don't rush me, I've been seizing the time." Different from the majestic voice that appeared in front of Yasi and the others before, the lazy tone that belongs to Violet was also read slowly in Nasia's voice. He came out and said: "If those guys hadn't come to make trouble, I would have transformed this room back to the original appearance that I was familiar with."
"Those guys?" Duan Qing frowned even more tightly, and Duan Qing looked back behind him: "I also noticed something when I came up - are they from the sacred mountain?"
"Yes, they discovered our arrival." Naxia, who still did not stop her spell-casting movements and maintained a lying and sitting posture, replied slowly: "They should have discovered it a long time ago. Now it is just before the formal We're just here to confirm, you'd better prepare in advance and prepare how to deal with it after our identities are revealed."
"Looking at your previous performance in front of those tribes, I thought you had already thought of a way out." Shaking his head, Duan Qing clasped his hands and replied, "It seems that the words I prepared to praise you are There’s no need to say anything more.”
"Hmph, that's really sad." Nasia's voice was full of disdain when she answered: "This kind of problem that requires the wisdom of an adventurer should be left to you to solve, apprentice."
"Our division of labor has always been so clear." A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and Duan Qing turned to look in the direction he came from: "All the military issues are yours - what about before? You also drove away the other party. ?”
"Strictly speaking: no." Naxia gave an unexpected answer: "It was your seemingly reckless companion who drove her away."
"If you have time, you'd better go and see him first."
