Chapter 876 (1/1)
For the fog mentioned by ATA, people in the tent showed varying degrees of confusion and uneasiness. The more serious ones are probably cheese, Lothar and Wuqi. All three of them, especially Wuqi, have bad memories related to fog. The mood of the three of them quickly infected other people, and the atmosphere in the whole tent quickly became dignified.
”Is it foggy at night on the grassland?” Cheese asked Batu and Wuqi about the rationality of the current situation. If this is a normal natural phenomenon, there is no need to be too careful.
”Fogging is normal. But the fog on a summer night should not be big enough to make people lose sight of it. ” There is worry in the Shaman's voice, and there is a thick fog in his nightmare not long ago.
Lothar turned his eyes to cheese. He was waiting for the mage's judgment. The latter, however, did not plan at once, as the count had hoped. There is a limit to human physical strength, even if it is enhanced by magic. Cheese was leaning on the cupboard, his gloves still in his hands, covered with blood. He wanted to deduce the present moment by calculating the operation time, but this attempt soon failed. The high concentration during the operation made the mage unable to know exactly how long it had passed. So are the others.
”What if the child was not taken to the designated place at dawn?” Seeing cheese unable to make up her mind, Lothar's first reaction was to wait in a relatively safe tent until the fog cleared or daylight. It's not a wise decision to go outside to meet dangerous people in such a thick fog. Especially after it was known that the guy who wanted the tribute was the Skinner, uwell's reference to handing the child to the black bull was even more suspicious.
”Then they have a reason and an opportunity to rush in and kill everyone here, whether it's the shales or not.” Wuqi answered calmly. The shaman didn't seem to be in a hurry.
”Why didn't they do that? Don't tell me that the masked ones know what's called temperance or kindness. Why haven't they rushed in and killed everything that breathes? ” The count's reaction was quick, and he immediately grasped the key point in Wuqi's words. That's why the Skinner is better than the Skinner to negotiate deals with vulnerable human tribes.
This question was not answered by the shaman. Relying on the mage on the side, he spoke softly, ”because of the way of blessing. Like the dragon blood trail, these tents are protected by the way of blessing when they are set up. Evil and filthy things can't enter at will. However, such a defense should not be able to block the plural skinners? ”
”I can't stop it.” Wuqi nodded and acknowledged the limitations of the defense he had built. ”But the blasphemers who forced their way through the path of blessing would be seriously damaged, and even if they ate up all the people in the shales, they would not be able to repair them. However, they can still bring us trouble. Cattle and sheep can't live long if they don't eat grass. Without cattle and sheep, people can't live long. They can keep us under siege until we die. Fortunately, the blasphemers don't want to stay in one place for too long. They don't want to endure hunger. ”
”This is a compromise between us. The shales give up their sacrifices, and the blasphemers seek others. It's not noble, but it keeps my tribe and people here. ” Shaman's voice is not big, his tone is full of powerlessness and unwillingness. But he has no way. The Skinner is too powerful for him and his people. And they also act in groups. It's incredible that those brutal monsters rarely appear in groups of this scale. They should have been fighting each other for a long time.
”A compromise deal, or a conspiracy chip.” Cheese is very light, and it's in elvish language. Except Lothar can understand it, no one else is aware that the voice similar to a sigh is actually a complete sentence. After saying this, the mage struggled to stand up. ”Those worms come back to deal with it. Now the priority is to go to the appointed place. It's not good for us to irritate each other
Both Lothar and atalante had no objection to the cheese's claim, and they had made a plan to fight the Skinner if the situation required. Batu, on the other hand, bit his teeth and nodded after seeing the female swordsman without hesitation. Only Wuqi is still like that, ”you can go. I haven't recovered yet
Shaman said this, of course, not out of laziness or fear. The cold light on the weapons of the count and the swordsman, and the fighting spirit in their master's eyes, have revealed their intentions. In this case, Wuqi's identity will make him push the deal even if he doesn't approve of it. So, how to avoid this situation? No, it's the best choice. He did not attend the meeting on the grounds of weakness, so that no matter what the outcome of their negotiations was, it had nothing to do with the shales. As for whether the Skinner will be repulsed by the grey robe and his companions, Wuqi is not worried. Because the spirits told him that the mage in front of him had the means to deal with the Skinner.
”It's not safe for you to stay here. Come with us. ” The mage's strength stunned his companions and shamans, although the loss of a caster did make some losses. However, in Wuqi's current state, it is not wise to take him to the appointed place. Once the battle really starts, shaman can't protect himself.
ATA wanted to stand up and ask cheese to stop the idea, but Lothar stopped him. Grey always has its own considerations, which he and his cheese partner learned many years later. Moreover, the self-esteem of the grey robe does not allow them to tell their companions the possibility of uncertainty before their guess comes true. It's arrogance, but it doesn't hurt the accuracy of their predictions. ”Batu, go and hold the shaman.” The count patted the latter on the shoulder, in support of the cheese.Facing the water antelope boy, Wuqi did not resist. He was very curious about the basis of cheese's arrangement for himself. I just want to come here. He will not tell him if he asks the mage now. As soon as the party was dressed up, Lothar and atta carried the sleeping patients, Batu and Shaman walked beside them, while cheese found a wooden staff one man high from the tent and hung the dawn on it. Wuqi seems reluctant. There are very few such woods on the grassland. He planned to carve the wooden stick into the totem of the spirits.
The fire in the tent went out. Instead, it's a warm morning light. Dawn breath has the function of adjustment. Cheese didn't intend to make the lamp the brightest from here, which would cause it to be temporarily unable to use due to excessive consumption. But even so, the magic lantern made by dwarves still has an amazing effect. Within the range of 50 steps centered on cheese, the fog can no longer block people's vision.
This made the mage frown at the same time. Being able to be dispersed by this lamp means that the fog here is not generated naturally.
