Author: Conquer people with virtue

"Nohir?"

Old Man Ma obviously recognized the tiefling boss. Since Theos was introduced by Nohill, the offense just now was obviously a misunderstanding.

Looking at the innocent-looking Theos, Old Man Ma shook his head and said, "Come in and talk, I am the patriarch here, you can call me Lao Ban or Lao Ma."

"You can call me Theos."

The three of them entered the village, and Theos read his message again.

Explanation: Centaurs are not only reclusive wanderers, but also interpreters of omens in the wilderness. They will try to avoid conflicts, but will also fight back violently when oppressed. They roam the vast wilderness, far away from laws and shackles, and act alone. And Spot

Erma Xiazu has ended his journey ahead of schedule.

It seems that Patriarch Zerma is very kind...

"Let's call you Lao Ma. I'm afraid I'll get you confused by Lao Ban." Theos told a cold joke.

There will be a deduction for homophonic memes!

"hehe."

Lao Ma didn't care. Under his leadership, the three of them arrived at the big tent in the center.

Along the way, many little centaurs and centaur women stared at Theos with curiosity. Most of them were old horses like Lao Ma. Most of them were injured, but Theos could see the hidden meaning in their eyes.

of wildness.

After entering the big tent, Theos told the story of the incident. Only then did the young horse realize that he had misunderstood the dragonborn.

"In a sense, it's true. There are indeed fewer and fewer of us in the Xilan Mountains..." Lao Ma told the truth about the Centaur tribe.

It turns out that the centaurs in this village only came to the Xilan Mountains a few decades ago. They are called forced settlers among the centaurs.

The people and horses lived a life of hunting and gathering, rarely building houses and even tents. The people and horses would spend decades migrating repeatedly between continents, so several generations of a people and horses tribe had to travel a lot.

The roads may all be different.

Individual centaurs who cannot keep up with the migration of the tribe will be abandoned behind. Some of these centaurs disappear into the wilderness and are never seen again. Some of them who can bear to live outside the tribe may settle among other races.

Settlements on the frontier often place great value on the centaurs who have settled there and the knowledge they possess about nature. Many such areas even attribute their survival to the insight and wisdom of a single centaur.

Centaurs with reclusive habits will still trade with others, usually with caravans of elves or other friendly humanoids they encounter during their travels.

Sometimes, traveling merchants would rescue people who were injured or too old to continue the journey on the road, and send them to a suitable place to spend the rest of their lives.

Lao Ma's group was part of the group that was left behind during the migration of large ethnic groups due to some reasons. Under the leadership of Lao Ma, they lived in seclusion in the Xilan Mountains, and the fire-forged dwarves also provided help.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend." Theos knew that his initial words might be a bit...

"Haha, it's okay. We have solved the misunderstanding." Lao Ma stroked his beard and continued: "I already know your purpose of coming. Do you want to find some rare species?"

"Yes, I hope to find these species that are struggling to survive and provide some help for their continuation."

The Rare Species Protection Association is urgently established! Now.

"Is that so... you remind me of a group of people, they are very similar to you." Lao Ma looked at Theos, suddenly something meaningful.

"Okay, I do know some relevant information. You have already issued a mission for species that are easier to find, so I won't talk about them."

"About five years ago... I passed by a forest in the south and encountered a mysterious aura. It felt very magical, but it also contained the way of nature, and it also had a dragon-like aura."

"That is?" Theos had no idea.

"I'm not sure. You may need to find it yourself. What I can guarantee is that it should indeed be the rare species you are looking for."

"Thank you very much for sharing, Elder Centaur." Theos expressed his gratitude to Lao Ma. Although he has a long lifespan, it is not wrong to call him elder at the moment.

"Nothing, the specific location is difficult to describe, I will draw it for you." Old Ma turned to young Ma and said: "Metz, go get the map."

"Yes, father."

Lao Ma's son Metz went out to get the map, and the big tent suddenly fell silent.

"He was born by me in the Xilan Mountains. He has been living in this mountain after mountain since he was born." Old Man Ma said: "He is still young and cannot stay here like us... Sigh."

Theos didn't know how to answer the call, although he wanted to say that he could follow me...

"Let's talk about you. How did you get Nohir to help you?"

"I told her I could help her grow grapes so she could make wine."

"Hahaha, you really understand her style."

Lao Ma obviously didn't expect that things were so simple. It seemed that Theos had quite an appetite for that girl.

While the two were talking, Mace came back with a map.

After unfolding, the general situation of the Xilan Mountains was painted on it, but many places were blank, including the Hearth Keep, the tiefling settlement, the orc settlement, etc., but many places were still blank.

It is worth mentioning that the orcs are the same as tieflings, at least on the surface they are on an equal footing with the fire-forged dwarves.

"I don't know many places. If you want to see a more complete map, I'm afraid you have to go find the dwarves."

Theos took this opportunity to write down everything about the map. The dragon's memory made it easy for him to do so.

"Well... let me think about it, it should be right here." Lao Ma didn't care to show Theos the map and pointed to a place.

Theos looked at it and saw that the forest was not small on the map, and it was located in the south of Furnace Castle, quite far away from here.

He nodded and indicated that he had taken note of it. Theos once again expressed his gratitude.

Although the map drawn by Lao Ma is not as precise and standard as the map in his previous life, it is still much more reliable than a certain tiefling boss.

"Chief, dinner is ready." An old centaur woman came in and said.

"Okay, let's go there right away."

"Then I won't bother you."

Theos stood up to say goodbye and was ready to go back.

Lao Ma did not stay, and the three of them came out of the tent together. Theos could see that there were several large pots set up in the open space, in which a small amount of meat and grain mixture were cooked. There were people around the stove.

There are many envious centaurs and young children.

"If you are short of food, you can come to me and it will be considered as a reward for the news."

Theos said goodbye and turned to leave.
