The crisis was over. After learning the news from Gawain, Artolis couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called deal with oneself is to listen to the other party tell the story of their clan's experience. In fact, the Fei clan is not as evil as people say.
I don't know how many years ago Fei set foot on this land. As the most powerful world in the world, the Phantom World itself has rich material resources, and the world nurtured on the World Tree is a concentrated area for the Phantom World's resources.
This piece of pure land awes Fei, who hopes to stay and thrive here. However, the physiological structure of the Fe clan is incompatible with most environments in the world. The destruction of vegetation and the spread of plague have made thousands of creatures fear their clan.
"That was not the original intention. We understand how serious the harm we have done to this land, and we also feel guilty and sorry for the living beings who died because of us. For this reason, we quickly made concessions."
The ancient battlefield was just as desolate as it is now. In order to avoid harming other living beings, the Fei clan chose to live in seclusion here. However, when human adventurers explored this place, they mistakenly regarded Fei as an evil creature spreading plague, and carried out a large-scale killing of them in the name of eradicating the filth.
Artoris did not dare to judge this point. When it came to conflicts between races, she could give an affirmative answer: no matter what intelligent race they are, there is a double standard phenomenon.
As far as human adventurers are concerned, what is evil should be eradicated, but if the other party brings harm to us and cannot communicate with it, then it is regarded as a monster. If the other party is an intelligent race that can talk, such as elves and superior dragons, they will be regarded as "human" in their eyes.
Artoris frowned when she thought of this, and raised her head to look at the big eyeballs staring at her.
"How many of your species are able to communicate with intelligent species?" Instead of Artoris, the Wolf King asked her thoughts.
"Why are you asking this?"
"I just want to test my guess. Maybe I can know why you are treated like this." Artolis replied.
Listening to Artolis's words, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then responded: "In that case, then..."
"Uh...you mean you are the only one who can communicate with us?" Artoris held her forehead, she finally understood why the Fei clan ended up in this situation. To be honest, if I met a creature like Fei outside and found that I couldn't communicate like this, I would probably greet it with a sword. But I definitely can't just say what's in my heart.
"How's it going? Did you come up with anything?"
Facing the other party's question, Artolis hesitated for a moment and then told the other party her guess.
"Just because of this nonsense, you are going to kill our clan!" After hearing what Artoris said, the other party's trembling sounds of shock and anger came from all directions. The huge sound collided in the empty cave, causing Artoris's eardrums to hurt.
Although she wanted to make up a reason to deceive the other party, Artolis still felt that it was not necessary. Of course, at this time, she had to be wary of whether the other party would betray her after learning the truth. After all, she was also a member of the human race.
However, this bad situation did not happen after all. After a while, the other party breathed a sigh of relief after calming down.
"That's all, it can only be said that we consider ourselves unlucky."
Surprisingly, there was no double standard. Artolis let go of her hands covering her ears, and her blue eyes met the eyeball again.
"My clan hates war. It is enough to preserve this pure land. Of course, this does not mean that our clan will let go of the past with the evil human clan!" After the other party put down this sentence, he sighed again.
"The deal between you and me should not rise to the level of racial conflict. Let this topic go as it is."
Artoris looked at the eyeballs and squeezed towards her, and then heard the other party say: "How is it? Do you have anything else to ask, stranger? If nothing happens, I will treat you and leave. I hope you can keep your promise. Don’t convey the secrets here.”
"Well, it won't do me any good to tell you, if you can trust me." Artolis said and nodded, "But there are indeed many questions I want to ask."
Artoris still remembers the reason why she came to this canyon with her team. She didn't see the so-called demon fire that Baron mentioned along the way. Maybe the guy in front of her can give the answer.
So: "What should I call you?"
"Fei, Fei is the name of my clan in all realms, which is also my name." The other party replied.
Is this because the entire clan is called "Fei"? This is too...forget it, just having a title is enough.
"Artolis, Artolis Grandeple, please give me your advice."
Fei doesn't care about the etiquette of these addresses. In fact, if you think about it, the entire race of the other party has this name. It must be that the way of communication is not limited to the name at all.
"By the way, before asking the key question, I want to know what this thing is?" Artolis asked, pointing to the big eyeball above the well mouth.
"You found it?!" After hearing this, the other party suddenly said in shock.
If you haven’t noticed this, then as a cultivator, your perception should not be too bad! Artolis couldn't laugh or cry. How could a guy who guards the gate of a race have only this little strength! Don't look down on cultivators of all realms.
"..."
The other party was silent for a while, and then said: "How should I put it, actually, that was the puppet substitute I made for the experiment."
"Really?"
With her curiosity satisfied, Artoris wanted to ask about something serious, but the other party seemed to know what she was thinking and answered her question before she opened her mouth.
"You want to know about the demon fire?"
"Eh? How do you know?" Listening to each other's words, Artolis and the Wolf King looked at each other.
"Being able to see through people's hearts is an innate talent of our clan." The other party explained as if showing off.
"So you always knew what I was thinking?!" Staring at those eyes, Artoris was a little angry. As a knight, Artoris hated being deceived the most.
"That's right, that's how I can be sure that you two are trustworthy." The other party's next words made Artolis' anger disappear a lot.
"I'm deeply sorry for that."
"Forget it" Artoris breathed out: "Forget it, I just want to know about the demon fire."
…
"Is that it?"
Looking at the group of people lying on the hillside looking into the distance, Artolis rubbed her eyes that were hurt by the wind. After all, the so-called demon fire is just a fire-breathing beast that lives here.
From Fei, Artolis knew that the fire-breathing beast had arrived here recently. It seems to have been mutated due to the influence of the Hundred Ghost Corpse Blood Formation.
Speaking of which, the Blood Formation of Hundred Ghost Corpses was placed above the residence of the Fei clan. Although Fei had said that the formation was useless to them, it would be too lenient to allow others to easily set up the formation here.
