When Ye woke up at dawn that morning, she didn't feel anything unusual at first. Although she didn't like the darkness in the stone house, she gradually got used to it after staying here for a long time.
He was used to this stone house, used to the light here, used to the huge, eccentric, and lazy big black wolf, and also used to the existence of that mysterious dark figure.
In Ye's past life, she was just a normal Berserker girl. She never thought that she would have such a life experience, but everything changed when the day of her race's extermination came suddenly.
Therefore, she had always hated the black-robed priest, but unconsciously, she seemed to be slowly relying on him. For example, when she followed him to the battlefield a few days ago, she had already discovered that the black figure had become the only thing she could rely on.
Therefore, although she would sometimes tell herself that the black-robed priest was her enemy and that she should hate him, she gradually forgot those feelings most of the time. It was the same when she woke up that day.
Leaves stretched herself and yawned. Then she stood up and prepared to go out to fetch water and start a new day of work. But very quickly, she suddenly felt as if something was not quite right.
It was in this house.
She turned her head and looked around. Everything in her eyes was the same as usual. The dim light, the sleeping Black Wolf Atsu, and the figure sitting quietly. There was nothing unusual. Yezi was a little puzzled. She carefully looked around, but still found nothing. Finally, she shook her head and got up to walk out of the stone house.
After she left, Lu Chen, who was sitting in the shadow, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the back of the barbarian girl and frowned slightly. He whispered, "She's really sensitive to witchcraft."
He lowered his head and opened his clenched fist. In the center of his palm, there was an extremely small black flame that was almost invisible to the naked eye. Previously, he had been holding it tightly in his palm, not revealing any clues.
He thought about it thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly laughed. There was a little malicious ridicule in his eyes. He said softly, "Find a priest from another tribe after the human race? I'm afraid the people of the Black Fire Tribe are going crazy. "
…
Yezi was busy working. Halfway through her work, she saw the chief of the Black Fire Tribe, Huo Yan, come to the stone house of the black-robed priest.
Huo Yan and Lu Chen had the highest status in the Black Fire Tribe. Even Yezi, who was originally an outsider, was in awe of Huo Yan. She hurriedly saluted him.
However, Huo Yan clearly didn't care about the people around him. After a casual wave of his hand, he walked into the house. At the same time, he ordered the people around him that he had important matters to discuss with priest Lu Chen in detail. Without being summoned, no one was to disturb him.
Therefore, Yezi was blocked outside the door. She was helpless about it, but she was also a little curious about what the two important people were talking about.
In the stone house, the two most powerful people of the Black Fire Tribe, who had unified the northern part of the Wilderness for the past hundred years, began to chat.
"Have you had breakfast?" Huo Yan replied.
"Not yet. I just got up." Lu Chen replied. He then asked, "What about you?"
"Well, I haven't eaten either. But it doesn't matter. It'll be noon soon. I'll eat that meal together with it."
"That makes sense." Lu Chen nodded in agreement.
Then, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything.
After a while, Huo Yan finally cursed and spat out a few more curses. He then said angrily, "Forget it. Let's not talk nonsense, okay? These words make me feel disgusted. "
Lu Chen laughed. He touched the thick and smooth fur on the back of Atsu. He smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Huo Yan nodded. After thinking for a while, his face slowly became serious. He looked deeply at Lu Chen and suddenly said, "You want to go back to the north?"
Lu Chen raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Yes. Didn't I tell you this from the beginning?"
Huo Yan seemed to have given up. He said, "Are you really not tempted by what I said before? As long as you stay and help the Black Fire Tribe, we will definitely give you unimaginable rewards! "
Lu Chen shook his head. He obviously didn't care about this suggestion. He only smiled and said, "Say it. What do you want to tell me today?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Huo Yan's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said solemnly, "I've thought about it. Since you're so eager to return, and you've helped the Black Fire Tribe so much these days, I can't make things difficult for you. I think I can tell you the secret of returning to the north. "
Lu Chen suddenly raised his head. He seemed to be shocked. Even with his calmness, he couldn't help but show a stunned expression. He said, "You're that good?"
Huo Yan stared at him and said in a low voice, "We've known each other for a while. We can be considered friends. I won't lie to you about this."
Lu Chen had already calmed down, but his eyes were still moving. His gaze flickered. He was obviously trying to guess the meaning behind Huo Yan's words.
After a while, Huo Yan continued, "However, I'm sure you're aware of the current situation in our tribe. From the beginning to the end, we only have you as our priest. Although we have unified the northern part of the wasteland, we have also attracted the attention of the strongest tribes in the south. Under these circumstances, as long as you leave this place, we will not be able to resist the other priests, shamans, and Venerables. "
Lu Chen nodded slowly, but didn't say anything. He only looked at Huo Yan, obviously waiting for him to continue.
"I can tell you the secret in advance, before you complete the difficult task for the Black Fire Tribe. At the same time, I can let you return to your hometown. However, there are many strong tribes in the south. Once you leave, the Black Fire Tribe may fall into the awkward situation of not having a priest again. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even subdue these Black Fire Guards, not to mention other tribes taking the opportunity to attack. "
Lu Chen was silent. After a while, he said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Before I tell you the secret, you have to return at least one or two priests to me. Then you can leave. In the future, the Barbarian Tribe will return to the Barbarian Tribe, and the Human Tribe will go to the Human Tribe. There will be no more ties. How about that? "
Lu Chen nodded slowly and said, "That would be best. However, I also have something to ask you."
"Go ahead." Huo Yan said.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "In order to achieve the results you mentioned, I naturally have to find people in the tribe. But after searching for a few candidates, in fact, these few people in the tribe recently …"
"We only want pure-blooded warriors from the Black Fire Tribe!" Huo Yan suddenly interrupted him, and then said resolutely and decisively.
Lu Chen was stunned and said, "What do you mean? Do you look down on the other barbarians?"
Huo Yan shook his head, but quickly nodded.
"After all, they are our own people. I feel more at ease using them." He said.
Lu Chen was silent for a while and said, "Alright, I understand."
