"Auburn skin. He's from the Ancient Wolf Clan!?"
"I, I seem to recognize his appearance, it's Bertula! The chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan!"
"Hurry up and tell others to get their weapons! Get ready to fight!"
"No, please wait a moment, he seems to be here alone."
"What? Alone?"
Chief Gulang ignored the surrounding revolutionary army who were extremely wary of him. The demihumans of the revolutionary army also recognized Bertula's identity and the other party was only going alone, so they didn't know what to do for a while. Yes, we can only quickly send someone to report to Xiyun.
Although Liao Ji is the theoretical supreme leader of the revolutionary army, since Liao Ji is not the "office-sitting" type and often takes Long Niang and several others around, he is actually the one who handles affairs and issues various trivial orders on weekdays. Xiyun, the former top leader.
Only those matters that Fox Lady considers important and cannot be handled by Fox Lady will be reported to Liao Ji in the end, and Liao Ji will make the final decision.
And obviously at the moment, Chief Ancient Wolf's sudden visit alone falls into the latter category.
Soon after, when Liao Ji and his party appeared, Bertula frowned.
"Are you their new leader? A human being?" Looking at the thin human being in front of him who was "weak and weak" in his eyes, the Ancient Wolf Chief even had the idea that he could easily assassinate him.
However, this idea was quickly suppressed. After all, the other party was the person wanted by the high priest. Bertula immediately put away other distracting thoughts. He spoke concisely and said bluntly to Liao Ji:
"Our ancient wolf clan would like to invite you to come over as a guest. The high priest hopes to meet you."
"Meet me?" Liao Ji was slightly stunned at first, but soon an interesting expression appeared on his face. The Ancient Wolf clan was his next target. Unexpectedly, this time others did not have to knock on the door themselves, but took the initiative first. Invite him over?
"You should feel honored. As the most noble being of our ancient wolf clan, the high priest can get her audience, which is what many demi-humans dream of."
As soon as Bertula finished speaking, the voice of another female human present made him frown.
"Bah! Do you think we are fools? You said we would go to your lair with you? Isn't this tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap? That high priest of yours wants to see us, why don't you let her take the initiative to come to our place?"
Seeing that Yi Lin was about to object angrily, Liao Ji raised his hand to interrupt the girl.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Now that I know that there is the operation of the Old Alliance behind the scenes of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Ancient Wolf Clan is the most critical part of it, there is a high probability that the real senior leaders of the Old Alliance are behind the scenes. That is, the forgotten ones.
Following this layer, it seems that it is not difficult to understand this sudden scene.
so.
Is that high priest really the one who "survived"?
Thinking of this, Liao Ji immediately asked: "Your high priest, did you say anything else?"
"The high priest does have something else he wants me to give you."
Bertula said, carefully taking out a palm-sized pocket watch from his arms and handing it to Liao Ji.
"This is.?"
After Liao Ji took it, he opened the pocket watch and saw a portrait inside?
The portrait is of a female demi-human. If Liao Ji had to use one word to describe his first impression of her, it would probably be...exquisite.
Whether it is a butterfly-shaped bun tied up with many hairpins, which is very time-consuming at first sight, or beautiful kimono-like clothing with lines and various patterns all over the body, and there are many embellishments on the clothes, Liao Ji was a little surprised. If it weren't for the wolf ears that stood up on the other party's ears, Liao Ji would have thought it was some kind of human courtesan.
This should be the first demi-human he has ever seen who takes care of his self-image so well, right?
so.
What does it mean?
"Is this the high priest painted on it?"
Faced with Liao Ji's question, Bertula didn't say a word. He just nodded and turned his head away. This was because the high priest had specially warned him about this step. After handing over the portrait, he must not say more. Half a sentence.
Liao Ji took a closer look at the female demi-human in the portrait. He searched all the memories in his mind, but still found nothing. He was very sure that this was definitely not the character he had contracted with in the game.
After all, for a character with such beautiful illustrations and graphics, even if the star rating is not high, I will definitely be impressed by it.
Just in case, Liao Ji secretly showed Jiuyou his pocket watch, but Long Niang shook her head the same way as she did, saying she didn't recognize him.
Could it be that I thought wrong?
Is this high priest actually not an old character who is obsessed with the Ashes Emperor?
Or, are they actually descendants?
Then what was her purpose in giving the picture to herself?
Liao Ji frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't come to any conclusion.
But it doesn't matter
If it were any other time, Liao Ji might have thought more carefully, but now with Jiu You by his side, Liao Ji is not afraid to go anywhere at all.
Liao Ji gave the answer without making the chief of the Ancient Wolf Clan wait any longer.
"Okay, I promise you, shall we leave now?"
As soon as Liao Ji's words came out, there was no doubt that he immediately aroused opposition from many senior leaders of the revolutionary army around him, but they were all quickly suppressed by Liao Ji.
Because it was indeed very risky, Liao Ji originally planned to go there with Jiu You alone, but with the persistence of Yilin and 86, they finally formed a team of four.
On the other side, even Bertula was a little surprised by Liao Ji's courage and ready agreement, which soon turned into admiration. After all, demi-humans admire two kinds of people, one is the strong one, and the second one is the capable person. A man of courage.
He didn't care how many people Liao Ji brought, or on the contrary, he was impressed that he only brought three guards.
Now that the goal was achieved, he didn't do much ink and just got on the mount. Behind him, Liao Ji and Jiu You rode on one horse, and Yilin and 86 rode on one horse. Under the leadership of Bertula, they began to quickly move towards the ancient plains of the orcs. The Wolf clan approaches.
After leaving the tribal forest, the field of vision suddenly became wider. Compared with the forest, the plains were more suitable for large-scale clan life.
Under the galloping speed of the camel beast mounts, one day later they had already sighted the territory of the ancient wolf clan.
Because the chief Gutula was in front, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. They easily passed through the various outposts and finally reached the real clan.
As soon as he came in, Liao Ji felt that there seemed to be a strong festive atmosphere in the clan? Many demi-humans of the Ancient Wolf Clan are busy with something and looking forward to something, and they don't even seem to pay much attention to the arrival of outsiders like them.
And then Chief Gutula just placed them behind the guest camp and left without saying anything.
It wasn't until night fell soon after that the noise and chaos coming from outside the guest village became louder and louder. At this time, the chief appeared again and knocked on their door.
"The high priest invites you to participate in the song and praise ceremony."
