Chapter 2 Misfortune and fortune depend on each other (two chapters in one)(1/2)
That voice was full of an arrogant and domineering tone. When Zhang Tie heard it, he was reminded of the second-generation ancestors of Black Flame City.
As soon as the voice fell, the group of cavalry had already rushed in front of the convoy, but they didn't go too far. Instead, they stopped when they were still more than ten meters away from the convoy. Zhang Tie looked at the expressions on the faces of the other people in the convoy.
Looking at their expressions, they found that the expressions on everyone's faces did not have any fear or hatred, but were just a little complicated. From this point of view, Zhang Tie knew that the relationship between the Gray Eagle Tribe and these people was not very tense.
The old man who was with Aurora also slightly caressed the chest and luggage of a guy in the cavalry team.
The mounts of most of the cavalry are creatures similar to the iron-horned beasts of the Norman Empire, which are very similar to rhinoceroses. Only the mount of one of the cavalrymen in the middle is particularly fierce and tall. It is a horse with almost two
An animal that is more than one meter tall. A pair of sword-like fangs that are more than three feet long spit out from the mouth of the ferocious creature. Its silver-gray fur has a strange metallic texture, and its pair of golden eyes are very interesting.
There was a sense of oppression. Where this creature was, the iron-horned beast-like mounts next to it couldn't help but keep a little distance from it.
Sitting on this ferocious mount is a tall man in his late twenties and late twenties. The man seems to be looking forward to his future at this moment, and it seems that he is not weak in strength.
What interests Zhang Tie very much is that most of these cavalrymen have spear pouches hanging on their mounts, and there are rows of flying spears in the spear pouches. When Zhang Tie was in Kurgan Village, he
He knew that many warriors in the ice and snow wasteland were using throwing weapons such as flying spears, but it was the first time that Zhang Tie saw so many people carrying so many flying spears at the same time. Zhang Tie still felt a little strange.
Because his current status was that of an unlucky prisoner, Zhang Tie did not say anything, but stood behind the crowd to see what these guys were going to do.
"Nurdo, why did you come to our Gray Eagle tribe?" Aurora asked coldly as she looked at the cavalry rushing over.
"I came to the Gray Eagle Tribe to discuss something with you!" Nurdo said nonchalantly.
"Is there anything we can discuss between us?"
"Ha ha……"
"I heard that the pioneers discovered the ruins of a city before the cataclysm in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier, and there may be fragments of the Star of God. Now pioneers and experts from all directions are rushing to the cracks of the Hydra Glacier, ready to launch an attack.
A windfall, my dear cousin, don’t you have any ideas when faced with this wealth placed in front of your door?”
"I know very well how strong the Gray Eagle tribe is. We only do what we can. If you want to find cannon fodder, you are looking for the wrong person!" Aurora snorted coldly.
"Don't be so absolute, Aurora..." The man riding on the ferocious mount straightened up slightly, leaned forward, and looked at Aurora condescendingly, "Our strength wants to fight for the fragments of the Star of God.
Of course, it’s not enough. We can’t interfere with this kind of thing involving masters at the sword master level, but you know, the contents of the ruins discovered this time may exceed your imagination. Since this ruins were discovered in the ice and snow wasteland,
If it is discovered, then there is no reason to let the outside pioneers take all the advantages. Except for your Gray Eagle tribe, all the tribes in the south have already started to move, and are preparing to organize people to go down there to have a look.
For the sake of my relatives, I came here to remind you, lest you miss the opportunity!"
Hearing these words, Aurora pondered slightly...
Zhang Tie listened to the side and was secretly surprised. He did not expect that the discovery of ruins in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier would become a bigger issue. Even the various tribes here could not help but want to take action.
You know, things like relics are all old antiques buried underground, especially the relics before the catastrophe, which are less than a thousand years ago. In many cases, the so-called relics before the catastrophe contain only some broken copper.
There are basically not many valuable things besides scrap iron.
"Aura, if you want to participate, then take your tribe's violent bear warriors to gather at the mouth of the Fichar River in two days. The Gray Eagle tribe is also an eagle-level tribe in the southern part of the wasteland. You must not let Gray Eagle
The tribe has deteriorated under your control. It would be bad if it turned into a squirrel tribe, hahahaha..." Amidst the arrogant laughter, Nurdo and his group of cavalry were like the wind again.
left.
After standing quietly for a few seconds, Aurora waved her hand, "Go back to the tribe..."
…
The distance from here to the Gray Eagle Tribe was less than two kilometers. In a short time, a mighty convoy arrived outside the tribe.
This tribe is much larger than Kurgan Village, but the buildings in the tribe are no different from those in Kurgan Village. They are all low wooden houses and there are very few tall buildings and stone buildings. If based on architecture,
If we estimate the population based on its size and density, Zhang Tie estimates that the population of this tribe is about 30,000 to 50,000.
Seeing the convoy coming back, many children in the tribe ran out of the tribe and chased the convoy excitedly.
"There is salt, I see salt!"
"And sugar, those boxes are filled with sugar!"
The children screamed with excitement, especially after several people in the motorcade sprinkled two handfuls of candies at them. The children screamed even more cheerfully.
Aurora was like a star at this time. She walked in front of the motorcade, accepting the cheers of others and waving her arms to the surrounding crowd from time to time.
Zhang Tie walked with the convoy, observing the environment here as he walked. Many people in this tribe raised livestock in their yards. Most of those livestock were elk, cattle, sheep and other things.
There are some simple processing workshops in the tribe, the most conspicuous one is of course the sea buckthorn wine processing workshop. Zhang Tie can smell the smell of sea buckthorn wine from a long way away. The iron processing workshop is full of smoke, and there are jingling sounds coming from inside.
A small number of semi-finished swords, flying spears, and some daily necessities were hung on the wall outside the blacksmith workshop.
In a yard on the roadside, Zhang Tie saw many women in the tribe tanning leather. Bundles of tanned leather were piled up in piles as high as a man in the yard. Just at a glance,
Zhang Tie almost jumped up. Those pieces of leather looked like wolves, giant wolves that were slightly larger than ordinary wolves, and giant wasteland wolves with gray-white fur.
If there wasn't such a large group of people around, Zhang Tie almost laughed out loud. What does the leather of these giant wasteland wolves mean? This means that you can hunt giant wasteland wolves not far from this tribe. With these
Giant Wolf, is my Giant Wolf Seven Power Fruit still far away?
"I heard that there is a beast wave happening here. Why, there are so many giant wasteland wolves here?" Zhang Tie asked Seton next to him in a casual tone.
"Well, there are a lot, but we have long been accustomed to it. The tribe is very safe. The priests in the tribe have imposed bloody territory on the land around the tribe. The giant wolves will not break into the tribe. The Gray Eagle tribe survives here.
For hundreds of years, we have long known how to deal with these beasts. Every few years, a tide of giant wolves here will break out, bringing us some extra money. The warriors in the tribe take the boys to hunt during the day.
If you become a giant wolf in the wasteland, you can not only make some money, but also train people!" Seton didn't even think about the meaning of Zhang Tie's question, so he didn't have any thoughts and directly told Zhang Tie everything Zhang Tie wanted to know.
"By the way, I just listened to the conversation between that person and Aurora. Aurora seems to have a high status in the Gray Eagle tribe?"
"Aura's mother is the priest of the tribe, and Aura's father is the tribe's leader. Aura will inherit the position of tribe leader. This tribe belongs to Aura. Do you think she has any status here?"
Seton said in a low voice.
"Ah!" This answer really surprised Zhang Tie. He didn't expect that the woman wearing the mask had such an identity. "Then why would she want to be a bounty hunter? This profession is very dangerous.
Will her parents watch her take such a risk?"
"Aura Laura's mother and father are no longer here..." Seton's voice suddenly dropped, and he glanced at Zhang Tie, his eyes full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "People have to do something about themselves many times in this life.
Things I don’t like to do, especially people in some special positions. In the past, when Aurora’s parents were still alive, Aurora was just an innocent and beautiful little girl who had never even killed a bug. She
When she was little, I gave her a rabbit. Later, the rabbit died and Aurora cried for two whole days..."
In this era, Zhang Tie could roughly understand what problems a woman, an heir to a tribe who had lost her biggest support, would face just by thinking about it in his mind. It was like a child who suddenly inherited a large fortune.
Some people with ulterior motives jumped out and tried to snatch away or forcibly occupy the things that the child deserved - a relative with ulterior motives. I seem to have met one just now. I don't know what else is there besides this.
Suddenly, Zhang Tie felt a little sympathy for Aurora.
"What about you? What kind of role do you play here?"
"I am the captain of the guard of the leader of the Gray Eagle Tribe!" Seton finally revealed his identity. Zhang Tie finally realized why Seton was so nervous when he restrained Aurora.
"You really want Aurora to be the leader of the tribe now?"
"This is the meaning of my life. If it weren't for this, I should have died twenty years ago!" Seton said solemnly.
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, "Then, maybe we should have a good talk!"
"Don't you want to play any tricks?" Seton looked around and warned Zhang Tie in a low voice.
"Actually, both you and Aurora know that I am not the kind of heinous person!" Zhang Tie also lowered his voice, "If it weren't for the misunderstanding, my ability would not pose any threat to you. From the beginning to the end, I have always treated you
I don’t have any malice. On the contrary, I am very willing to help my friend, of course, not in my current capacity and in this state..." Zhang Tie said or raised his hand and put it on his wrist.
Seton looked at the restraining collar.
"I will tell Aurora!" After saying this in a low voice, Seton ignored Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded. He has not yet reached despair. He wants to try any opportunity that can change his current situation. Those words he just said are not all false. In short, if cooperation is beneficial to both parties,
If all goes well, there really is no unsolvable misunderstanding between him and that woman.
After walking a few hundred meters in the tribe, Zhang Tie saw a relatively tall and imposing building located in the central square of the tribe. The building was built on a dirt bag in the center of the tribe. It was at the highest location and was made of stone.
, it looks a little more imposing. Of course, all this is relative. If the same building appeared in a place like Yiyang City or Stargazing City in Huaiyuan County, it would look like a rustic.
When the motorcade was about to approach that place, three people, three old men, walked out of the building at the same time. The one on the left of the three old men held a strange cane in his hand. His hair and beard were all white.
Although there was a distance, Zhang Tie felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity at the first sight of that person. Needless to say, Zhang Tie also knew who that person was - Elder Moko, the priest of the Gray Eagle Tribe.
Elder Moko glanced at Zhang Tie, and the bone-exploding needles in Zhang Tie's body moved. The pain in his body disappeared as soon as it was touched, which made Zhang Tie's heart tremble.
There are two people beside Elder Moko. Zhang Tie doesn't know who they are, but those who can stand with the tribal elders must be elder-level figures.
The convoy stopped under the dirt bag.
Aurora walked straight up to the three people. After reaching the top, she said a few words to the three people, and the three of them walked into the building. I don't know if it was an illusion, but when the person in the middle turned around,
, Zhang Tie felt that person's eyes lingering on his face for a moment.
Seeing someone coming to check and move the things on the truck, Setonjiu took Zhang Tie and left. After walking for a while, the two people came to a small wooden house.
…
"You stay here temporarily and don't run around. You can't bear the power of the bone-blasting needle. Don't make fun of your own life! Someone will bring you the food for dinner later!" After saying this,
After saying that and asking someone to stand guard outside the cabin, Seton left.
Zhang Tie looked at the simple hut and the young man standing guard outside the door seriously. He didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed inside the hut. A burst of mental power penetrated the black iron in an instant.
In the castle.
