Chapter 112 "What," Roddy was shocked.
Because he could hear the surprise in Andy's tone.
He knew in his heart what kind of character Andy was, on weekdays, this old skeleton looked like the sky was falling and it was covered, and it was rare to see it when it was surprised.
After being silent for a while, Andy said in a deep voice: "Very strong, indeed very strong, that's a kind of energy damn, not magic, not a spiritual boy, you have to be careful, there should be a very strong guy inside" "What the hell is it," Roddy also became serious.
"I don't know" Andy's tone was a little helpless: "I can't see through the damn inside, and the perspective is useless, and there is a guy in it who is very strong, the kind of strong you have never encountered" "Could it be the chief," said Roddy, in a deep voice, "could it be better than you, Old Mark, or Miaosi?"
"I don't know" Andy's voice was very serious, "but I'm afraid it's like this, that kind of energy fluctuation seems to be a kind of realm power" "What" Roddy couldn't help but cry out, and then immediately took a breath and stopped his mouth suddenly.
The people around him all looked at him in surprise, and those mountain people wondered why this high-ranking official from the empire suddenly shouted.
Rand immediately whispered: "Lord Duke, what's wrong" "Nothing."
Luo Di's face was serious, he shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "Domain Andy, you mean the realm, but I heard Miaosi say that after reaching the realm level, it is almost an existence similar to a god."
Andy laughed strangely, but there was a bit of weirdness and uneasiness in that laughter: "The existence of the gods, don't the mountain people all say that their chieftain is a god descending from the earth?"
At this moment, the sorcerer of the mountain had already walked out from behind the curtain and said something lightly, and Wu Yu immediately said loudly: "The patriarch invites Duke Tulip to come in." ” Roddy glanced at Rand and whispered, "You wait for me here."
Then he strode over, lifted the curtain and entered.
The wooden house was very large, and Roddy suddenly realized that something was wrong when he walked in, and suddenly realized that this house had no windows The room was filled with a strange smell, as if it were the smell of some kind of plant.
A copper stove was placed in front of the room, carved with the image of a snake looking up and spitting letters, and a faint smoke slowly rose from the snake's mouth, and on a platform not far away, the famous mountain chief Vulture sat there quietly on his knees.
To Roddy's surprise, the chieftain, who was said to be known as the "First Warrior of the Mountains", looked so weak Although he was just sitting there, he could see that he was not tall, not to mention that compared to those ordinary mountain warriors, even compared to Roddy, he was a little thinner.
Unlike other mountain people, he was dressed in white linen clothes, and his face was clean, without a trace of beard, and he did not have the kind of oil paint that he wore like ordinary mountain people.
To Roddy's surprise, Vulture's face took on a strange white, as if it were a piece of white jade, or a piece of ice.
The white and somewhat transparent face looked a little weird, as if it was no longer a living person's face, but seemed to be carved out of some kind of cold jade.
His eyes were closed at the moment, and he sat there casually, leaning his body resting against the wall.
Suddenly, Luo Di felt his eyes glaze out, and the vultures in front of him seemed to be wrapped around his whole body with a cloud of brilliance that seemed to be nothing, and those clusters of brilliance wrapped him in them, as if they were emitting arrogance.
There seemed to be a place in his heart that was the center of brilliance, and that point was dazzlingly bright, like a flame.
Roddy knew that it was Andy who was using perspective through his own eyes, and the clumps of light wrapped around the vulture's body were the other party's energy fluctuations.
Suddenly, the vultures slowly opened their eyes, which were extremely indifferent, without any trace of emotion in their eyes.
He looked at Roddy coldly, like a god from above looking down on an ant at his feet.
"You're looking at me" His voice was light and airy, and he didn't seem to have any emotion, and his tone was calm, and he spoke in the language of the Empire "What" Roddy's face remained unchanged: "Vulture Patriarch, what did you say" Vulture slowly closed his eyes again, and said softly: "Your Excellency the Duke from afar, you are looking at me, why?"
Roddy was secretly frightened, but Andy was already uneasy: "He can detect me" Luo Di cleared his throat and said slowly, "Patriarch Wuya, I'm looking at you.
It's just because I didn't expect the patriarch of the famous Flame Tribe to be like this. ” The vulture's voice was still cold: "I sense that you have magic fluctuations on your body, Your Excellency the Duke, are you a warrior or a magician" "Samurai."
Roddy replied involuntarily.
He had a strange feeling in his heart, the patriarch of the mountain in front of him seemed to have a trace of transcendent aura, and that light and fluttering voice seemed to contain infinite majesty, although he just glanced at himself casually, but at that glance, it seemed that he had seen through himself.
Vultures raised their eyelids and glanced at Luo Di again: "Samurai, the magic fluctuations on your body must be because you have a magical treasure on you."
I've heard that the Tulip family of your Empire of Light is the most powerful and powerful, are you?"
Luo Di tried to calm his emotions, slowly walked a few steps, and smiled: "Chief, you invited me to negotiate, presumably not to talk about the affairs of our tulip family, I came to see you, there should be more important things to discuss." ” Vultures were silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Your Excellency, please be seated. ” After Luo Di sat down, Wuya said slowly: "Your Excellency Duke, you must have brought your conditions when you came this time, and now there is no one here, so you can just say it." ” Luo Di was stunned, he didn't expect this vulture to be so direct, he thought for a while and said: "Chief vulture, forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that we can't agree to your request, not to mention anything else, even if the various tribes in the mountains are now jointly electing a chief, our Emperor His Majesty will definitely not accept it."
For more than 100 years, according to the decree of the Abbasid Emperor, no chiefs were allowed among the mountain tribes.
Your actions this time are undoubtedly a challenge to the Empire."
Vulture seemed to smile: "Since you can't accept it, what is the Lord Duke doing this time?"
Luo Di took a deep breath: "I came to persuade the Vulture Patriarch to dispel the thoughts in his heart. ” Vulture glanced at Roddy, "Do you know what is in my mind, Lord Duke?"
Luo Di smiled coldly: "The vulture patriarch is ambitious, so he naturally wants to unify the various tribes of the mountains and set up his own door."
Wuya was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly, he smiled, the face that originally seemed to be carved out of cold jade seemed to be glowing with a hint of brilliance, only to hear his voice said softly: "Unify the various ministries to stand on their own, it seems that you all think like this" "Isn't it?"
To Luo Di's surprise, Vultures actually shook his head slowly: "No." ” "Oh," Roddy didn't expect him to deny to his face.
"Your Excellency, let me be frank, I have no interest in unifying the various tribes of the mountains and setting up my own gates" The vulture's tone was very calm: "I have no nostalgia for the title of this chieftain. ” Luo Di frowned and said, "Patriarch Wuya, I don't understand what you're saying. ” Vultures opened their eyes, glanced at Roddy, and said, "Lord Duke, how can you not understand that you have already made up your mind in your heart that the purpose of your visit is to find out the forces that oppose me in our mountain tribes and the people who assassinate me.
Divide us and overthrow my authority, won't you?"
His words were understated and extremely calm, but word by word, it was as if a series of thunderbolts exploded in Roddy's heart.
Even if Luo Di could calm down again, he couldn't help sweating on his back, and his face changed greatly.
"Don't be surprised."

Vulture waved his hand lightly, and said lightly: "I already knew what you thought in your heart when you first walked into this room" Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Vulya's face: "I forgot to tell you that I have mind reading" "What" Roddy finally couldn't help but whisper, "Mind Reading" Although ordinary high-level warlocks or magicians also have some physiognomy and other abilities, most of them can only guess the truth of the other party's words based on changes such as the other party's heartbeat or breath fluctuations heard when the other party speaks, and directly probe the thoughts in the other party's heart, which is simply a divine mana The vulture's tone was still calm and indifferent: "Lord Duke, you don't have to be so surprised.
He sighed: "In fact, for me, the pursuit of human power is no longer in my mind."
"That," Luo Di gritted his teeth: "Then why did you unite the various tribes of the mountains, and then go to the position of chieftain, isn't everything you do step by step towards that goal?"
Vulture's face darkened, and he slowly shook his head, and said, "You are wrong, you are wrong, and they are all wrong.
Is it ridiculous to unite the mountain tribes like the people in the northwest steppe, establish their own kingdom, and then fight with the empire The struggle between humans and humans is so tasteless. ” "Human" Roddy couldn't help but whisper, his breathing began to rapid: "Isn't the Vulture Patriarch human?"
There was a confused look in the vulture's eyes, he seemed to hesitate, shook his head, and said something that surprised Roddy: "I don't know. ” Roddy felt his mouth dry for a while, and he couldn't help but want to laugh wildly, laughing at this vulture's crazy speech, but his heart was as heavy as pressing a stone.
Reluctant to smile, Luo Di said slowly, word by word: "Patriarch of the Wuya, what do you mean by your words?"
Vultures shook their heads, "I don't know, but I can tell you that I have no interest in fighting your empire."
If I wanted to fight you, then I would have fought you a long time ago, and the strength of one of your legions in the south would not be able to stop me."
Luo Di was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Then what do you want?"
"Promise" vultures opened their eyes: "I want the empire to promise that I will never step into the mountains from now on" "What" Luo Di looked at the mountain patriarch in front of him with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "This is what you want" He secretly calculated in his heart, if he really just asked the empire not to take a step into the mountains, it would not be difficult for the empire to accept.
The empire has no interest in the lands of the mountains.
It's just that the legend of this legendary ambitious mountain is all there is to it Luo Di said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Wuya, I really don't understand your words, I hope you can give me a full explanation." ” The vulture's body slowly stood up, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then his indifferent voice slowly drifted through the room, empty as if it had a bit of a distant breath, and as if he was singing in a strange tone: "The chains of a thousand years have gradually decayed, The devil's eyes will be on the earth.
The blood of the emperor will eventually solidify, A vicious curse will haunt every piece of light.
They sprinkle calamities everywhere with a curse, They brought calamity and spread death throughout the earth.
The blood of the gods will wash down the temple, The withering of the thorn flower takes away the end of it all. ” These words were like songs, like stalks, like weeping, as if with a kind of indescribable magic, Roddy only listened to the anger in his heart, and faintly felt a trace of coldness and fear, but where the fear was, he couldn't say.
Suddenly, Andy's voice in his head screamed loudly: "Prophecy He said prophecy" "What" Roddy couldn't help but stand up and stare at the vulture patriarch in front of him.
Vulture suddenly smiled faintly, and his tone was a little low: "Yes, it's a prophecy." ” Luo Di was stunned for a moment, pointed at the vultures and exclaimed, "You can hear me what you say" A deep smile appeared on Vulture's face, looked at Roddy, and said lightly, "I just wonder why there are two souls in your body. ” Seeing that Luo Di was speechless, Vulture looked calm, and just said slowly: "Your Excellency Duke, I know that you are not an ordinary person.
I hope you will keep these words in your heart today. ” Luo Di took a breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Patriarch Wufang, how do you know what those prophecies you just said mean by prophecy?"
Vulture shook his head: "You can slowly understand the meaning of it."
Perhaps your other soul will know something.
A grim smile appeared on his face: "It's just that I want to tell you that I hope that in the future, the empire will not send people to step into the mountains again, and I will also restrain the mountain people in the mountains."
The mountains are the world of our mountain people, we don't want to go out, and you don't want to come in again, otherwise, I won't cherish the blood. ” Roddy's face turned a little pale, and he muttered, "A vicious curse will wrap around every piece of light."
They spread disasters everywhere with a curse, and they spread death all over the earth with a curse, and the light you say refers to the Empire of Light, what kind of disaster is the curse, and what is it?"
Wuya shook his head: "I don't know, I just hope that the mountain people can avoid the mountain people living in the mountains, and only take the mountains as their home, and disasters should not befall us again, even if there is any disaster, it will stop outside the mountains."
Roddy was emotional and couldn't help but say loudly: "Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense" Vulture smiled faintly: "Am I talking nonsense, so what good is it for our mountains and what harm is it for your empire?"
Roddy immediately stopped.
What's bad for the empire The empire does not enter the mountains joke for a hundred years, the empire has no interest in the mountains at all, as long as the plain cities in the south are stable, the empire does not care about the world in the mountains at all.
This strange chief asked the empire not to take a step into the mountains, and wanted to completely isolate the mountains from the empire, could it be to avoid the prophesied "disaster" Even if he is talking nonsense, why should he lie to himself?
The more Roddy thought about it, the more upset he became, and he couldn't help but breathe more and more rapidly.
Barely stabilizing his emotions, Luo Di said again: "Then the vulture patriarch, you tried your best to unite the mountain people, why did you incite those mountain people in the empire to mutiny, and what are you for?"
Vulture shook his head: "The union of the mountains is inevitable.
The empire is like a huge magnet, firmly attracting the mountain people to approach, and then slowly assimilating the mountains into a part of the empire, and if this continues, future disasters will inevitably befall the mountain people, and a united mountain nation is necessary.
Only when the mountains are no longer scattered and scattered, can they not be assimilated by the empire, and as for inciting those people to rebel, those things are not my orders."
"It's not your order" Roddy shook his head: "You are a mountain man, and now the recognized chieftain is not your order, who will it be" Vulture slowly walked to the copper furnace, stretched out his palm and gently placed it on the nozzle of the snake's mouth, letting the dead white mist spray on the palm of his hand, his face had a somewhat complicated look: "The brains of the people of your empire have always been more complex than our mountain people, don't you understand that even among the mountain people, there are ambitious people."
When his own strength is great, he will inevitably think of revenge for the hatred of the year.
In their minds, shedding some blood is simply not a matter of concern.
I don't like that, but I can't convince them that I can't see that I'm just a weak patient."
Luo Di said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the patient vultures are not sick, is it true that you were assassinated?"
There was a complicated look in the vulture's eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "No, it's true that no one can assassinate me, at least not among the mountain people.
My weakness is due to the canyon of death, which I must have seen when you came the other day, and I quietly entered it once. ”:
