The room was very quiet. Neither Lu Chen nor Huo Yan spoke for a long time.
Atsu's huge body completely blocked the door. It didn't look like a monster, but more like an overfed dog.
It glanced at the people in the room tiredly and yawned. It seemed to be bored and slowly narrowed its eyes.
"Do you know what you're saying?" Lu Chen looked at Huo Yan and said calmly, "You're actually worried that a human will steal the entire Black Fire Tribe?"
Huo Yan shook his head and said, "You're not a normal human. You're now the messenger of the Fire God, the priest of our Black Fire Tribe. For thousands of years, we Barbarians have long been used to obeying the orders of shamans and priests. As long as you truly gain the respect of the entire tribe, then they will definitely listen to your orders, and from then on, obtain supreme power …"
"Then what do I want this power for?" Lu Chen suddenly interrupted him and asked Huo Yan.
Huo Yan was silent.
Lu Chen laughed coldly and said, "Don't forget, from beginning to end, it was you who dragged me into this. I have no interest in your Barbarian games or things like reviving glory. How about this, if you're really worried, then tell me how to return to the north. I'll immediately leave this place and let your Black Fire Tribe sleep peacefully. How about that? "
Huo Yan thought for a while, then looked very seriously at Lu Chen and said, "You can't leave."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If I didn't know that you're a fanatic believer of the Fire God, then no matter how I force you, it'll be useless. Otherwise, I would really want to cast a Black Fire Curse on you and let you have a taste of that."
Although Huo Yan was brave, he couldn't help but frown when he heard those words. He looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression and said after a moment of hesitation, "Speaking of which, didn't you make a promise to the Divine Wood Tribe that you would personally guarantee their fate? Why do you want to leave this place so soon? Have you ever thought that after you leave, won't they all fall into a miserable fate after being abandoned by you? In this way, isn't it breaking your oath? "
"What's there to be afraid of? When I swore that day, I only talked about the Black Fire Tribe, not myself," Lu Chen replied calmly.
Huo Yan was momentarily speechless. After which, he looked at Lu Chen's expression and bitterly laughed for a moment. However, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. There's something I need to discuss with you. "
Lu Chen said, "What is it? Speak."
Huo Yan said, "You are now an official priest of our Black Fire tribe …"
"Don't, please don't say that." Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Your father, the current chief of the Black Fire tribe, hasn't acknowledged me yet. My position isn't stable. Who knows, I might be removed in two or three days."
Huo Yan sighed and said, "My father still can't understand our thoughts and methods for now. But don't worry, as long as I'm here, he will always stand on your side. Moreover, I don't believe that you can't see that after the battle at the Divine Wood camp, the strongest and most elite warriors of our tribe have already accepted you. They are especially respectful towards you. "
Lu Chen laughed and said, "That's because they received more women and servants after the battle, right?"
"That's also because your witchcraft is so powerful. We, the barbarians of the Southern Wilderness, are born to respect the strong."
Lu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
Huo Yan continued, "As for my father, you don't have to worry about him. I will often go over to discuss these matters with him. No matter what, it is the will of the Fire God to cooperate with you. I have no doubt about this. No matter what, I will carry this matter to the end. "
Lu Chen looked deeply at him, a strange light seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes. Huo Yan paused for a moment, then said to Lu Chen, "Let's not talk about these troublesome matters first. But I have discovered that you seem to be missing one person."
Lu Chen was startled and said, "Missing who?"
Huo Yan said, "Missing someone to serve you. You are now a priest of the tribe. Your identity and status are different from others. You should find someone to help you with the daily chores of cleaning the house and preparing meals. "
"No need, no need, it's too troublesome …" Lu Chen immediately shook his head and wanted to decline. But Huo Yan's expression was resolute. He stood up and walked out. At the same time, he said, "Leave this matter to me. I will help you find a satisfactory and hardworking person. You don't have to worry about this."
How could Lu Chen not care? He spent his days alone with the Atsu. He wasn't afraid of any secret matters being leaked. If there was suddenly a barbarian by his side, wouldn't his hands and feet be tied?
But Huo Yan seemed to be an impatient person. After saying those words, he strode out of the house. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Lu Chen chased to the door. When he looked outside, he could no longer see Huo Yan's back.
Lu Chen looked up at the sky. After a moment, he spat out a mouthful of impure air. He smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, let's leave it be."
… …
Huo Yan fulfilled his promise the next morning. He brought the person he wanted to the door of the stone house that Lu Chen lived in.
Last night, the mysterious and terrifying black-robed priest didn't seem to do anything strange. He just sat quietly under the wall of the house. His big black wolf was still loyally lying on the ground in front of the door, watching the people coming and going in the camp.
For thousands of years, Lu Chen was the first human to come to the Southern Wilderness. So Huo Yan certainly couldn't find another human to serve him. So, the person that Huo Yan brought over this morning was a barbarian.
It was a female barbarian. She looked to be about 18 or 19 years old. She was still very young, but her expression seemed to be full of grief. When she looked at Lu Chen, her gaze seemed to be very complicated. It seemed that she was thinking about how to avenge the deaths of her clansmen. How to secretly get rid of this incomparably cruel black-robed priest.
Lu Chen stared at the woman for a while. Then he turned around and walked to Huo Yan's side. He glared at him and sneered, "Are you afraid that I won't die fast enough?"
Huo Yan heard this and said, "How could there be such a thing?"
Lu Chen pointed at the young body that was kneeling on the ground and sneered, "This woman is clearly a young woman that no one in the Divine Wood Tribe has claimed. Why did you send her to me? What do you want?"
"Let her serve you!" Huo Yan laughed loudly. Then he waved his hand and turned around to leave.
Lu Chen was somewhat helpless. He was about to say something when he turned around and looked at the young barbarian. He sighed and asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Ye."
