Hearing Laura’s words, Zhao Hai felt that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. He looked at her in confusion and asked, ” “What’s the meaning of this?”
Laura glanced at Zhao Hai and laughed, ” &Quot; it means that those scammers aren’t real businessmen. They all have powerful backgrounds. &Quot;
“You’re saying that those scammers were ordered to do this by someone?” Zhao Hai asked, taken aback. Who was it? Why?”
Laura smiled bitterly and said, ” &Quot; who else could it be? those who are afraid of the power of the beastmen. Among them are the Versailles family and the Arkas Empire’s royal family. Many merchants on the beastmen Plains are their eyes and ears. As long as they find out that a tribe is very powerful, they will think of ways to make that tribe weak. There is no way to make a tribe weak than to cheat. This method doesn’t require much manpower, money, or force. That’s why many people are using it. ”
Zhao Hai really didn’t expect this to be the reason. He was stunned for a moment before saying, ” “No wonder just now, Yale interrupted Wells. It seems that Yale also thought that we were scammers. It’s also my fault. I was too confident just now.”
Laura laughed. &Quot; you can’t be blamed for this. You’re telling the truth. It’s just that Yale doesn’t believe you. When we get to know each other more, they’ll believe you. Oh right, big brother hai, don’t you think that there’s something strange about Wells ‘camp? ”
Zhao Xiangdong nodded. &Quot; it’s a little strange. This camp is full of combatants. There’s not a single woman. This doesn’t seem to make sense. &Quot;
Lola nodded. &Quot; I can see that too. But looking at Weyers, it doesn’t seem like he has anything important to do. Why would they come here? ”
Meg, who hadn’t spoken all this time, said, ” “Could it be that Weyers also came out to gain experience? Weyers is the seventh son of the herculean bull clan’s patriarch, which is equivalent to a Prince. Human nobles usually send their children out to gain experience. Weyers is also a noble, so it’s possible that he also came out to gain experience?”
Laura and Zhao Hai were stunned. Then, Laura chuckled and said, ” “It seems that we have thought too much about this matter. Yes, I have also heard that the princes of the big races of the orc race will also come out to train. It seems that Weyers is the same. However, it is also strange that he was besieged by the Jackal race.”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; this matter is a little strange, but it’s not something we should be concerned about. Anyway, we’ve achieved our goal. We’ve gotten rid of the Jackal tribe, haven’t we? ” Unfortunately, there are no living ones. However, there are still two living mounts of the Jackal tribe, which are now in the warehouse.”
After the battle had ended, Zhao Hai had stored the corpses of the Jackal tribe members into his dimensional space. Afraid that Yale and the others would become suspicious, Zhao Hai had even used a black mist technique to cover the entire battlefield before storing the corpses of the Jackal tribe members. He wasn’t in a hurry to turn the Jackal tribe members into undead creatures. He still wanted to obtain some information from the Jackal tribe.
However, he couldn’t let Weyers and Yale know about this. Thus, he used a black mist spell to cover the entire battlefield. When the black mist disappeared, the Jackal clansmen’s corpses had disappeared as well. This would make Yale and the others think that Zhao Hai had already turned the Jackal clansmen’s corpses into undead creatures and kept them in his summoning space.
This was also a common practice of Black Mages on the continent. After killing an enemy, they would turn the enemy into an undead creature and then put it into their summoning space. This way, not only could it deter the enemy, but it could also increase their own power. Thus, Yale and Weyers didn’t suspect Zhao Hai’s actions in the slightest.
Lola nodded. &Quot; let’s wait until night time to deal with the Jackal tribe. We don’t know when Weyers will come and find us. We shouldn’t go into the space. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded. He didn’t want to enter the space at this moment.
What Zhao Hai and the others didn’t know was that right now, Weyers and Yale were also discussing them.
Seeing Zhao Hai and the others leave the tent, Weyers turned to Yale in confusion.”Teacher, why didn’t you let me continue the conversation with Zhao Hai? If he has a lot of food, and it’s cheap, then it’ll be a good thing for our vigorous divine ox clan.”
Yale glanced at Weyers, then shook his head.”I don’t think what Zhao Hai said is true. Does he really have grain? Don’t forget the lesson from the black bear tribe five years ago.”
The lesson that Yale was talking about was the one time they had been scammed. At that time, a human merchant who had worked with the Black Bears on many occasions had promised to prepare food for the Black Bears for the winter. Because their previous cooperation had been very pleasant, the Black Bears had never thought that the other party would lie to them. In the end, the Black Bears had also not bought food from other merchants for the winter.
But in the end, the human merchant disappeared and never appeared on the grassland again. When the black bear tribe realized that they had been tricked, it was already too late. They didn’t store any food that winter. In addition, the snow was heavy in the winter, so it wasn’t easy to send troops to plunder. The entire black bear tribe was in danger of running out of food.
In the end, the black bear tribe had no choice but to eat the goats and other demonic beasts to tide over the crisis. Even so, many of the black bear tribe’s slaves had starved to death. The black bear tribe, which had been strong for a period of time, had become weak. If it wasn’t for their powerful combat abilities, they would have been exterminated by others.
At that time, this matter caused a huge reaction in the orc Prairie. There was even a period of time when all the races in the orc Prairie stopped doing business with human merchants. Many human merchants lost their capital because of this.
Hearing Yale’s words, Wells couldn’t help but be startled. &Quot; no way. I don’t think Zhao Hai is that kind of person. He’s also holding the friendship flag of the orcs. Teacher, are you overthinking? ”
Yale shook his head. &Quot; it’s always good to be careful. We have to always remember the black bear tribe’s lesson. Whether or not Zhao Hai has those rations, we can’t bet everything on him. &Quot;
Weyers didn’t object to this. It was too risky to bet everything on one person. He wouldn’t do it, so he didn’t object to Yale’s words.
Yale looked at Wells and continued,”Wells, don’t you think that it was very strange for us to be attacked today?” Since when did those dogs have the guts to attack us?”
“Then What do you mean, teacher?” Weyers asked, stunned.
Yale said, ” this is strange. Although it’s said that some dogs dare to Rob anyone, there were old people and women in their teams when they robbed in the past. They usually acted as a whole tribe. However, the people who attacked us today are all young and strong. There are no old people or women. Have you heard of any Jackal tribe that can send 2000 young and strong people to Rob? ” Besides, we’re only here to travel, so we didn’t bring too many valuables. We’re also protected by 300 Warriors. With our strength, we’re much stronger than the average small tribe, but those dogs still came straight at us. This doesn’t seem like their style, so I said this matter is very strange.”
Hearing Yale’s words, Weyers “expression kept on changing. He wasn’t an idiot; he understood what Yale meant.
Although Weyers was the seventh son of the herculean bull clan’s patriarch, he was the son that his father liked the most. Moreover, Weyers had been very smart since he was young. This might not be a big deal to the humans, but it was a great advantage to the beastmen.
Orcs were straightforward. Generally, people who weren’t very smart would be seen as stupid and gullible by others. Therefore, orcs attached great importance to smart children and would choose a prophet as their teacher from a young age to teach them. Such children were often the next clan leader of their race.
Wells had been very smart since he was young, so his father had chosen Yale to be his teacher when he was five years old. It was like a secret eye, telling everyone that he was going to groom Wells as his successor.
If Weyers “other brothers were only average, then it wouldn’t be a problem. The herculean bull clan could smoothly complete the handover of their old and new members. However, the problem was that Weyers” other brothers were also extremely powerful. This was troublesome.
Weyers “big brother, garthor, had followed his father since he was young and had always fought for the Hercules bull clan. In the circle of orcs, he was known as the bull-headed God of War. His strength was comparable to a human rank 8. Among the orcs, who admired the strong, garthor was very famous. Among the Hercules Bulls, garthor’s prestige was also very high.
Although garthor wasn’t as smart as Wells, he had been helping Wells ‘father manage the clan’s Affairs all these years. His performance was commendable, so many people in the Hercules bull clan supported him and wanted him to be the next chief.
Wells ‘second brother, Paul, wasn’t worth paying attention to because Paul was a very hot-tempered person. Although he was very strong and loved to fight, he was obviously not suitable to be the patriarch. However, Paul had a good relationship with garthor, so he had always supported garthor as the patriarch.
Weyers “third and fourth brothers had died in battle when they were still in their teens. Not many people in the family could remember their names.
Wells ‘fifth brother, Hales, had been ill since he was young. He would fall sick half a year. He was forgotten by the clan and posed no threat.
Wells ‘sixth brother, Mendes, had a good relationship with Wells and had taken care of him since he was young. However, he was still young and couldn’t help much.
Weyers had two younger brothers, but they were still young and didn’t even have the qualifications to gain experience, let alone help.
Wells still had four older sisters, but they were all married to another powerful Tauren race, the bullfighting race. Wells had a good relationship with his second and third sisters, while his eldest and fourth sisters had a good relationship with gaethyr.
Thus, if one were to really count, Jasor’s face to the herculean bull clan’s chief was slightly bigger than Weyers ”
