In addition to the novel knowledge obtained from the ogres, some strange potions and the additional "protection" fee from the great businessman Epicurus, Ques, who followed the caravan, was about to reach the core of Dragon Nest Families' control.

The region has had a new harvest.

Several elven captives who were released after the previous battle quickly brought back a reply from the chief of the Salem tribe regarding the redemption of his son.

The person who conveyed the news was a team of ten powerful elf warriors led by an elf chanter. They escorted the elf prisoner who conveyed the news to redeem the beloved son of their chief.

The elf chanter leading the team is named Brachi, but people in the tribe who are familiar with him will call him the nickname "Tongue Puller". He has a strong body, with muscles all over his body, and he walks like an eagle and a wolf.

, it is truly menacing.

There were elves who once rumored that he actually had the blood of green-skinned orcs flowing in his veins, but those who spread these rumors were challenged and defeated by him one by one. According to tribal regulations, these defeated elves would have something of their own taken away as victory.

The spoiler's spoils, Brach's choice is always the same as the rumormonger's tongue.

The cold Brachi, the cruel tongue-puller.

Not only was he the most elite ten-pillar warrior in the tribe, he also needed to insert ten spears with the heads of rival tribal warriors as human head pillars at the door of the tent where he lived to show his bravery.

Brachi is also a chanter who can manipulate the unique vocal skills of the desert elves, which requires rare talent and decades of diligent practice. In addition, he must also endure the strict prohibition of eating any food flavored with spices in this life.

Demanding.

Only such a strong man can subdue such an elite team composed entirely of ten-pillar warriors.

As Hajar Otu's Anda friend since childhood, and as Hajar Khan's most trusted warrior commander, he clearly understands the dangerous situation the tribe is currently facing.

Although the tribesmen were all high-spirited and the warriors were busy polishing their swords and guns, the tug-of-war with the equally powerful Sashan tribe had already made the quartermasters in charge of logistics begin to despair.

The army gathered by the tribe can drink up the water source of an oasis in a week. The newly born meat animals have no time to graze and raise, so they have to be used as rations by the army. The quartermasters are even studying whether they can use the captured enemies.

Solve the food dilemma!

In addition, there are eyes on the periphery of the tribe that the human empire has been watching. They seem to be trying to kill both sides in the battle between the two alien tribes, and use a once and for all solution to solve the threat of the elven tribe; inside the tribe, the corrupt tribal elders, and

It is a kind of honor to restrain the chiefs. They greedily enjoy the power given by tribal traditions, and slowly eliminate the vitality of the tribe like a group of parasites.

However, the war cannot be stopped. Only by defeating the Sashan tribe can the great chief be qualified to obtain the title of Khan, the co-leader of the elven tribe.

Only when Hajar becomes the khan of the elven tribes can he unite the strength of all desert tribe warriors.

Only with this power can the city-states of the human empire be captured, and the desert elves can enjoy more water sources and raise more livestock.

Only by unblocking the city-state can we untie the iron ring tied to the throats of the desert tribes by the cowardly and powerful kneeling people.

Ques, who had transformed into a human boy, looked at the Salem tribe envoy, who was built more like an orc than an elf, and his keen sense allowed him to discover that this man dressed as a warrior seemed to have strong magical aura fluctuations in his body.

"It turns out he's still a spell caster. He should be the eccentric mage who used sonic combat like the three brothers Blue and his brothers defeated."

"Awe-inspiring envoy of the Dragon's Nest, I am the special envoy of Hajar Khan of the Salem tribe. I am fully responsible for communicating and discussing the exchange of tribal warriors." The Elf Chanter Brachi's neck is surrounded by a leather tube, which is his

The enchanted equipment invented to enhance the effect of sound words can greatly enhance the power of sound words. However, when Brachi speaks, there will always be a gurgling sound after boiling water.

Originally, the chief sent the elite warriors as negotiators, with the idea that if the negotiations did not go well, he could use force to subdue the other party. Based on the description of the size of the blue dragon by the captives, the well-informed chief understood that the one who captured his son might be a

A young dragon is no more than a young dragon at most.

"Tongue Puller" Brachi has the experience of killing two-headed giant lizards and sand elemental giants. Those are monsters close to the strength of adult dragons. As for whether to consider the young dragon asking for help from its kind, the blue dragon

The arrogant and arrogant character and the price that the elders of the same clan have to pay are unbearable for a young dragon. Of course, he cannot kill this young dragon. The revenge of the adult blue dragon from the dragon's nest is something that Salem cannot bear.

Although he traveled day and night, he caught up with Epicurus's caravan before entering the core area of ​​the dragon's lair, and met the young blue dragon that captured Harkonnen. But judging from the current situation, not to mention that this young dragon seems to have a long-term future.

The strength that matches his age is brought about by Brachi’s fighting experience.

, an amazingly accurate intuition for assessing the strength of the opponent. There are also three strong ogres standing behind the blue dragon that turned into a human boy. The strongest one may have the potential to grow into an ogre warlord, and the other two are

Both of them are faintly emitting spell fluctuations, these are two ogre spellcasters.

Being able to correctly assess the situation is also a good habit of Brachi. Abandoning the plan to show force, "Tongue Puller" put forward a plan to deal with this situation.

"As the fourth son of Hajar Khan, Harkonnen has the legal right to be redeemed first. The news brought back by the released prisoners said that Harkonnen is still alive, so I want to exercise the right of priority to be redeemed," Brachi said from

Pulling out an elf from behind who clearly had the scars of being whipped recently, he bowed slightly to Quess and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the powerful Dragon Nest Messenger. This is one of the captives you repatriated, and it was he who brought your request to Seyler.

Hajar Otu, the leader of Mu.”

Ques can guarantee that the prisoners he chose to repatriate were all those who had not been injured in the battle, and they had never been whipped by Epicurus or anyone else. The elf messenger in front of him was pulled by Brachi.

The prisoners who came out obviously encountered a disaster after returning to the tribe.

"The environment can indeed affect people. I used to think that elves are elegant and peaceful creatures. I didn't expect that in the cruel natural environment of the Ash World, the desert elves here have become so advocating violence." Ques couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.

"Elf of Salem, I agree that you will give priority to redeeming the son of the chief of your tribe, but I remember that the redemption condition I asked this person to bring is wealth that matches the status of the son of the chief!" Ques looked at several caravan warriors.

They brought over the son of the elf chief who was bound with hemp ropes, and told them to step back immediately and not to untie the restraints, including the "bite" they put on to prevent the elf from yelling.

Brachi used cold eyes to stop the great warriors behind him who were so angry that they wanted to draw their swords when they saw Harkonnen being tied up.

Then he turned his head and tried to make his eyes look directly at the human boy who was the incarnation of the terrible monster: "The chief taught the people of Salem that 'the principle of transaction is fairness and justice'. Since I have been ordered to conduct redemption negotiations, I have made the payment."

Preparation for equivalent exchange.”

The principle of transaction lies in fairness and justice. I am afraid that the next source of profit lies in bullying the weak by the strong. It is more cost-effective to pay with a knife than with money. Quess guessed about this vicious-looking messenger without malicious intent.

Brachi took out a leather scroll from his arms and gestured. Seeing that the blue dragon boy had no objection, he opened the leather scroll and squatted down to spread it on the carpet.

"This is a map, but it requires some special means to display the terrain."

In full view of everyone, the elf messenger suddenly stood up and grabbed the hair of the whipped messenger prisoner standing next to him.

With a sudden exertion of force, the injured warrior was knocked to the ground by Brachi. A flash of knife light cut open his armor, as if a dagger made of crystal was accurately inserted into the heart of the warrior. In the hands of the cruel and powerful elf messenger,

Here, this unlucky warrior was taken away from his life before he even had time to scream for mercy.

Ques stopped Epicurus who was frightened by the killing and wanted to shout for protection.

"I'm sorry to stain your carpet, but this is a necessary means to make the map visible. Use the soul dagger to harvest a fresh life, similar to condensing obsidian beads and casting spells, to activate the magic circles on the map. Follow these map clues.

Unimaginable treasures can be tracked down.”

Brachi pulled out his hand and glanced at the leader of the caravan indifferently, as if he was complaining about something trivial.

Quis ignored the "performance" of this elf's demonstration. His attention was attracted by the changes in the map.

The dagger made of soul crystal turned bright red, which showed that soul energy had been stored inside. The dagger plunged into the map, like a pool of clear water, and the blood-red soul energy was rendered to the entire scroll, and lines like blood vessels emerged.

"This spell scroll doesn't seem to be the handiwork of an elf." Ques raised his head and asked.

"Indeed, this map is the equivalent of the chief's exchange. Its origin is unknown. It may be a legendary artifact of the tribe, or it may be property handed over by a previous tribe after plundering it. But it is certain that the person who made this map did not

Not an elf."

Brachi carefully weighed his words and answered carefully. He could intimidate ignorant and cowardly businessmen, but he had to be extremely alert and careful to deal with this young man who was transformed into a powerful blue dragon.

"This map shows a secret place to the west of the Dragon's Lair territory. After obtaining this map and finding a way to reveal it, Hajar Khan once led elites including me to explore the place guided by the map.

place."

In the end, only Hajar and I escaped... Brachi deliberately concealed the results of that exploration.

"So what did you find? Is there anything valuable there that could be exchanged for a ransom of a chief's son?"

"Actually, we had some trouble in it," Blatch said thoughtfully, omitting the "deathly" qualifier for those "trouble."

"That place seems to be the laboratory of a long-lost ancient soul-binding mage. It is a huge building hidden under the sea of ​​sand. During our exploration, we found similar characters carved on some stone slabs with traces of ancient Elvish language.

Identification, therefore, it is judged that this is the lair of an ancient spell caster. As for the judgment that this spell caster is a warlock, it comes from the attacks we encountered from the synthetic beast guards, which is the area where warlocks are good at.
