In front of them, an elite Shadowblade Orc knelt on one knee and reported the situation to them in detail.
"Ridiculous!" Kil'Gaz said sternly. "What is that human saying? What kind of place is the Loop of Glory? How shameless! "
"He didn't directly refuse, but chose the venue. This human prophet has a certain amount of courage. " The Shadowblade Sword Saint was carefully wiping his long sword with a piece of animal skin. There was a trace of suppressed anger in his voice.
"Brother, that human clearly didn't dare to duel with you, so he found such an excuse," Kil'Gaz said hatefully. "Humans are cunning and weak foxes. If that human didn't deliberately show weakness in yesterday's duel, I would never have lost! "
"But you lost, and the Shadowblade family name was shamed because of it," the Shadowblade Sword Saint said.
Kil'Gaz fell into silence. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and the bandages on his chest were bleeding again.
"Tell him that I agree to his request. The duel venue will be the Loop of Glory," the Shadowblade Sword Saint said in a deep voice.
Kil'Gaz's eyes widened, but after thinking for a while, he decided to remain silent. He knew that his brother was a man of few words, but he always made a decision after careful consideration. Once he decided on something, he would never hesitate or change his mind.
Now, even King Kamish couldn't persuade the Shadowblade Sword Saint to change his mind about challenging the human prophet!
...
Red Top Mountain Camp, Bai Xiaowen welcomed a rare guest in his wooden house: King Kamish.
"Great Chief, if you want to see me, you can summon me at the Crimson Stone Throne. Why do you have to lower yourself and come to me personally?" Bai Xiaowen said.
King Kamish said in a low voice, "I don't want to attract too much attention. Don't worry, Prophet, the orcs are not like other races who care about hierarchy. "
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while. It seemed that the royal leaders of the Blacktide Plane didn't put on airs. The Elven Queen and Queen Camelo were the approachable type. Of course, this was also related to Bai Xiaowen's identity as a prophet.
Great King Kamosh said, "Ruhr has already explained everything to me, including your purpose in doing so. Now, I have news for you … The Yingren Sword Saint has agreed to duel you in the Ring of Glory. My advice didn't work. "
"Your Excellency, why do you need to advise me?" Bai Xiaowen was shocked. If the Shadowblade Sword Saint was persuaded by King Kamish, that would be bad.
"A living prophet is more useful than a dead one. Even if you die, you cannot die in the land of the Beastmen. "Grand King Kamosh said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Rest assured, Your Excellency. I may not lose."
King Kamish sighed, "You were able to defeat Kil'Gaz, which indeed exceeded many people's expectations. However, Ruhr has already explained the course of the battle to me. You relied on your brute force to forcefully restrain Kil'Gaz's mobility. You only managed to defeat him by trading injuries with him. However, the same method wouldn't work on the Yingren Sword Saint. You couldn't even get close to him! Especially when he's on guard. "
"Your Excellency, are you here to persuade me to refuse to accept the duel?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Kamish nodded.
"Impossible," Bai Xiaowen said flatly. "Although I am a human, I also have dignity and honor!"
Li Shuyi curled his lips slightly as he listened, but King Kamish clearly believed him.
"I have an additional condition." King Kamish took a deep breath. "I can give you Harley Ken."
Bai Xiaowen understood that this Beastman Grand Chieftain was indeed afraid that Bai Xiaowen would die in the Beastmen Kingdom. If that was really the case, the Beastmen's marginalized position in the Continental Alliance would undoubtedly worsen.
In this apocalyptic crisis, no country could bear the crime of killing a prophet.
If Li Shuyi hadn't given him the task of awakening his skill, Bai Xiaowen would have accepted it. But now, he still shook his head. "My sense of honor doesn't allow me to do so."
"I have a way that won't damage your reputation." King Kamish sighed. "Your theory of the Ley Line Corridor has already been approved by me. I hope you can set off immediately to survey the Gaguli Plateau and find the entrance to the Ley Line Corridor. This can also be seen as a condition of the Mother of Wargs, Harley Ken. "
A mission notification came.
"Special Side Mission: [Prophet's Mission] activated."
"Mission Objective: Survey the Gaguli Plateau and find the entrance to the Ley Line Corridor."
"Mission Duration: None (equal to the remaining time you have in the Blacktide Bitwall)."
"Mission Difficulty: Unknown."
"Mission Reward: The Mother of Wargs' nameplate."
It was the "Prophet's Mission" again!
Bai Xiaowen said, "Your Excellency, you want me to find the entrance … Is it to send troops to protect the Ley Line Pillar?"
"Yes. Since we know that the earthquake in the Amusha Forest was the cause of the destruction of the corresponding Ley Line Pillar, and that there are similar pillars under the Gaguli Plateau … then we should prepare in advance, "Kamish said seriously." This is a matter of great importance to the survival of the Orc Kingdom! "
The earthquake and tsunami in the Amusha Forest had caused great damage to the Elven Kingdom. More than one-third of their land had become a sea, and the seawater was still overflowing.
The situation of the Orc Kingdom was even more dangerous. The only place suitable for living was the Gaguli Plateau. Most of the other lands were deserts.
If the Gaguli Plateau collapsed and the seawater poured in, the Orc Kingdom would be on the verge of extinction.
Bai Xiaowen had a flash of understanding. King Kamish did not want him to participate in the duel because he had this idea. Even if Bai Xiaowen died, he had to find the entrance to the Ley Line Corridor. Otherwise, if the prophet died, who would help the Orc Kingdom find the entrance?
There was more than one Ley Line Pillar on the continent. As a prophet, Bai Xiaowen still had many things to do. How would he have the time to help the Orc Kingdom find the entrance to this pillar?
If he could get the prophet to find the entrance to the Ley Line Corridor for the Orc Kingdom by sacrificing a mother wolf, this deal was worth it.
"I'll take this deal."
Bai Xiaowen nodded. Looking at King Kamish's relaxed brows, he added with a smile, "But I won't give up on the Circle of Glory's duel."
"This …"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Your Excellency, don't worry. I won't deliberately seek death … Hmm, what do you think?" He whispered a series of words into King Kamish's ear.
King Kamish was not used to being so close to humans. After listening patiently to Bai Xiaowen's "whisper," he straightened his back again.
"Okay, it's decided … Hmm, I promise I won't tell anyone."
