How could Roger not feel that the two people's attitudes toward him had changed? He had no intention of playing tricks with the barbarians anyway, so he immediately asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"
"I really didn't expect you to be the envoy of the kingdom. []" Man Niu said regretfully: "I originally wanted to invite you to the tribe as a guest to thank you for being my savior, but now it seems... unlikely."
"Why is this happening?" Roger asked in confusion: "Aren't we friends?"
"You saved my life and my sister's, so of course you are our friend." Man Niu said with some embarrassment: "But the lord here once said that the peace envoys sent by the kingdom will require all barbarians to pay heavy taxes, otherwise
They will send troops to attack us. So... you are the enemy of all barbarians, and we cannot invite you to the tribe as a guest."
"This bastard lord actually spreads rumors about me like this. Well now, my friend has become the public enemy of all barbarians before he arrives!" Roger scolded Doug in his heart, and then said with a serious face
He said to Barbarian Niu: "This is all Doug's rumour. His Majesty the King's order to me is that as long as the barbarians recognize the rule of the kingdom and do not pose a threat to human villages and towns, everything else remains as usual, and you are not required to pay taxes at all!"
"
Roger's and Doug's statements were completely different. Now even Man Niu was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked, "Really?"
"I didn't expect you didn't believe me." Roger said with a sad face: "My friend actually doubted my words, which really makes me sad..."
Roger's words made Man Niu very embarrassed. When the barbarians came, Roger risked his life to save him, but he immediately doubted his words. It was really not like the style of a barbarian who has a straightforward personality and repays kindness.
"I...it's not that I don't believe you." Man Niu explained while scratching his head: "It's just that what you and Doug said are very different, so..."
"Barbarian bull, barbarian bull, don't you have the intention of what Doug said?" Roger shook his head and said to the barbarian: "He just hopes that you will not negotiate with the kingdom, so that the kingdom will send troops to deal with you, and wait for you to negotiate.
If the king's team fights to the death, both sides will lose, and he will be able to occupy your hunting ground!"
Roger's words did make some sense, and Man Niu believed him a little more. Bai Ling, who had been silent next to him, was also thoughtful. After a while, he looked at Roger and said, "So, Doug wants to kill us also to destroy us."
negotiation?"
"That's right!" Roger slapped his thigh heavily and said, "Think about it, if a member of your tribe was killed by humans inexplicably at this time, would you still be willing to negotiate with the kingdom? Doug knew this but still did it.
, obviously he wants to sabotage the negotiations, so can what he says still be believed?"
Although Bai Ling is a girl, her brain is obviously better than that of Man Niu. The barbarian girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then pulled Man Niu's clothes and said: "Brother, I think what Roger said makes sense!
We should take him back to the tribe and let father decide whether to negotiate!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Man Niu was very confident in his sister's IQ and immediately agreed with Bai Ling. Then he immediately assured Roger: "Don't worry, you Roger is my Man Niu's savior.
.Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or not, I will definitely ensure that you leave safely, and I will not let others hurt you even if it costs my life!"
Roger was a little moved by the sincerity of the barbarian's words. He nodded heavily and said, "I believe you, friend!"
"Let's go!" Barbarians are not good at expressing emotions, so Barbarian Bull waved his hand and turned around to leave.
Roger stopped the Manniu brothers and sisters again, made them drink the healing potion, and then headed towards their camp with the barbarians.
After drinking the healing potion, Man Niu and Bai Ling's injuries healed quickly. Although the Barbarian brother and sister had never seen a healing potion, they both knew it was a good thing, and their impression of Roger was naturally better.
The Manniu brothers and sisters have long been accustomed to traveling in the northern wasteland. At this time, all their injuries have healed, and they are naturally walking as fast as flying. Of course, Roger will not lag behind, walking side by side with the two of them, chatting and laughing, without any hesitation.
There is no feeling of fatigue at all.
The Barbarian Bull had never met a human being who could keep up with his pace, so he couldn't help but feel a little more serious about Roger. He suddenly remembered a question and asked Roger quickly: "Roger, what happened to the cavalry who were chasing us just now?"
"I killed a few, and a few escaped." Roger replied casually. Killing a few cavalry was not a big deal for him. Even the strongest knight could only kill a few.
They were only at the elementary level of bronze. As for the cavalry, they were even worse. Roger didn't take these enemies seriously at all.
However, in the eyes of the Manniu brothers and sisters, Roger's record is very impressive. Although the barbarians are tall and strong, if they fight humans on the flat ground, they can easily win even if they are one against three, but in the face of a charge
It's completely different when it comes to cavalry.
Once the cavalry charges, the impact cannot be stopped by flesh and blood, not even barbarians. But Roger easily eliminated several charging cavalry and scared away the rest of the enemies.
, such bravery is beyond the reach of most barbarians.
Barbarians have always admired the strong. After hearing Roger's words, Barbarian Bull's face turned red with excitement, and he patted his shoulder heavily and said: "Haha, you actually fought off so many cavalry by yourself, it's really amazing! I'm Barbarian Bull."
I made no mistake in making you my friend!"
Although Bai Ling did not speak, he kept looking at Roger, his heroic eyes shining with joy.
In fact, it seemed a bit rude for Barbarian to treat a noble of the kingdom like this. If he met other nobles, he would definitely be scolded. But Roger knew that Barbarian had a straightforward personality, so naturally he would not take this matter to heart. The three of them were talking and laughing all the way.
He hurried on with a smile, and after walking for half a day on the northern wasteland, the terrain began to gradually rise, and he had officially entered the range of Changhan Peak.
The name of Changhan Peak seems to be just a mountain peak, but in fact it is a mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles. Barbarians have lived in this mountain range for generations.
The snow in many places at high altitudes has not yet melted, and the temperature has become colder. However, this little thing did not affect Roger and the other three. They climbed up the mountain at a speed that did not slow down, and soon they reached the Manniu tribe.
near the campsite.
"Barbarian Bull, Bai Ling, you are back!" Two barbarians holding javelins came out from behind a huge stone, and they happily came forward and said: "You have been out for so many days, and the clan leader has become anxious!"
"Something happened and we were delayed." Manniu pointed at Roger and said to the tribe: "This is Roger, my friend!"
However, when the two barbarians arrived at Roger, their original smiling faces immediately fell.
