With Yuan Zhan's order, all the residents of Nine Elements returned to the inner city, and only the west gate was left, while the other three gates were all closed.
Both the dwarves and the mermaids got the news from Jiuyuan, knowing that the Chi tribe was coming here, the mermaid tribe didn't feel nervous, and only sent more patrolmen. But the dwarves can't do it. They have been defeated by the Chi tribe once, and they have hatred in their hearts and are even more afraid. When they heard that the Chi tribe was about to kill them, many people panicked and didn't know what to do, even if there was a wide outer moat to protect them. Looking at them, they are still afraid.
"We want to see Lord Mo." The Opa tribe witch and Katie came together, stood at the gate of the west city, and discussed with the defenders in the common language they had learned.
"Lord Mo is busy." The city defenders added two more words as if afraid that the two of them would not believe it: "Very busy."
Opa and Katie did not expect to meet Yan Mo so easily, Opa sighed, "Please tell Master Mo, we are willing to exchange."
"In exchange for what?" the soldier asked dutifully.
"You tell Mr. Mo, he will understand." Opa learned the common language for a while, but after all, the time was too short, and she heard that it was very difficult.
After all, Katie was young, and she couldn't help being angry when she saw that the guards had been obstructing them, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only endure it.
Fortunately, the warrior also knew that the dwarves' common language was limited, so he didn't embarrass them anymore. He explained to the warrior next to him, called another warrior to take his place, and ran into the city to find the priest.
Everyone knows that if you want to find Master Mo during this time, you should go to the central clinic first, where the possibility of finding someone is the highest.
The soldier didn't see Lord Priest directly, he told the guard leader Dahe everything about the dwarf's coming to find Lord Mo, and stood quietly at the door of the clinic waiting.
Now who doesn't know that the priest is in there to inspire the second batch of future blood warriors? Even though the place where the fighters are inspired is still far behind, everyone is very conscious. Everyone who comes to the clinic to seek medical treatment or do business will be very quiet, for fear of disturbing the priest.
But Yan Mo wasn't there at the moment, he was trying to communicate with Jiu Feng on the top platform of his own house in the grove.
"Jiufeng, I know you can tame those big birds and make them listen to you, right?"
Jiu Feng stepped on his face with one paw, and made an angry guttural sound at the same time.
Yan Mo painstakingly pushed away the big paw covering his entire face, lying on the ground with a wry smile, "This is really my idea, not Yuan Zhan's."
"Jie!" I don't believe it. You sleep with him now, not with me!
"It's not hot, it's too hot to sleep under your belly." In the past, there were parasites that sucked blood. Fortunately, I can make medicine to eliminate them all now!
"Jie Jie!" Are you hugging those two-legged monsters together? I saw it all from the window!
"He hugged me, not me! How many times have I told him, but he secretly hugs me every night while I'm asleep. Really!"
"Jie Jie!" You also gave him a lot of little two-legged monsters!
"It wasn't born by me! Jiufeng, I know you understand, you... what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Jiufeng spewed out wind from his nostrils, hum, turn his head!
"Master Jiufeng!" Yan Mo burst into tears. He has said a lot of good things since the morning, but Jiufeng either ignored him or stepped on him with his paws. He wanted to leave, but it grabbed him with its mouth return. Who will tell him what this is all for
"Baby Jiufeng, little boy Jiufeng, come on, tell me, why are you angry?"
Jiufeng spread his wings angrily, and let out another guttural sound angrily.
Yan Mo had no choice but to coax it over and over again in a low voice.
Like an old man, Jiu Feng stepped on his stomach again.
However, judging from the force with which the paws landed on his face and stomach, Jiu Feng had no intention of hurting him even in his fury.
Yan Mo stopped talking, just hugged the bird's claw and stroked it gently.
After being touched for a while, Jiufeng suddenly let out a whimper of aggrieved and aggrieved.
"Hoo hoo, hoo hoo!" I asked you to play, but you ignored me. You are either staying in the house or in the woods every day, and you don't come to see me!
"I'm here, but every time you see me, you say you're going to seek revenge from Big Fish, but we can't..."
"Jie!" Jiufeng seemed to be set on fire, and his wings exploded. revenge! Must take revenge! Why not report? I want to eat that big fish, I want to eat him!
"But we can't beat him yet."
"Jie!" Jiu Feng flew up angrily, spitting out wind blades at Qingyuan Lake in the distance.
Yan Mo finally knew the reason, it wasn't because he snubbed Jiu Feng, nor was Jiu Feng jealous, this naive little guy was arguing with him, the main reason was because he lost face in front of him, and Jiu Feng was aggrieved the most Unfortunately, it became stronger again, but it still couldn't beat the big fish, and there was no hope of revenge for the time being.
It seemed that he had to find a way to make Jiu Feng vent his anger, but that Yu Wu was indeed extremely powerful, and he really couldn't think of any good way to restrain him except poison.
Yan Mo saw that Jiufeng couldn't communicate for the time being, so he got up from the ground and jumped downstairs, planning to go to the central clinic to continue torturing those soldiers, while thinking about how to make Jiufeng happy.
At this time, Dahe also came to find him.
"grown ups."
"What's the matter?" Yan Mo stopped.
"The two ancestor witches of the dwarves want to see you and say that they are willing to exchange."
"Oh? Did they say they want to exchange something?"
Da He shook his head, "They didn't mention it, they only said that you would understand."
Yan Mo really knew what the dwarves could exchange with him. It can be said that since he had someone spread the news that the Chi tribe was going to kill him, he has been waiting for the dwarves to take the initiative to come to the door.
"Take them to the living room No. 2. I'll be there in an hour."
"yes."
After two months, Katie walked into the inner city of Jiuyuan again. She thought the city was still the same as before, but after entering, she realized that it had changed greatly. Many buildings that were not completed before have basically been completed, which is especially obvious when walking to the center of the city.
The simple wooden bridges in the inner city's circular river have all been replaced with stone-paved roads that are many times stronger, and there are fence-like railings on both sides of the road.
There used to be an earthen platform in the central square, but now that earthen platform has become a solid stone platform with steps on both sides. Jiuyuan's Nine Rules and Three Orders monument is erected on the high platform.
The biggest change is the meeting hall. Katie never imagined that this big house would be like this after it was built... like a legendary temple, majestic, solemn, and grand, and people would feel endless oppression when standing under the steps.
The meeting hall has changed even more. There is no longer just a big empty hall, but many more rooms with other functions. It even has a second floor!
Opa Zuwu just came here some time ago, and she was not as shocked as Katie, but she did not deny that every time she entered the city, every time she saw this meeting hall, she would be shocked again.
Some soldiers brought them all the way to the No. 2 reception room.
As soon as they entered the reception room, the eyes of the two ancestor witches were attracted by the layout of the room.
There is a big window in the room with animal skins hanging on it. Now the animal skins are lifted up from both sides, and the wind blows into the room through the window. Unfortunately, today is not a good weather, the sky is gloomy and there is no sunshine.
There were four stone piers in the four corners of the room, on which sticks were stuck, and Katie guessed that they were probably torches for lighting.
There is a rectangular wooden table in the center of the room, with four wooden chairs on each side of the wooden table.
Both the wooden table and the wooden chairs are thick and primitive, and the workmanship is not very exquisite, but if you look closely, you will find that they have been carefully polished, and the smooth original color wood surface makes people feel comfortable.
There is also a stone pot with a big mouth and a round belly on the table. There is soil in the stone pot, and a well-growing leafy plant is raised in the stone pot.
The soldier leading the way pushed the door open, motioned them to go in, and then stood at the door and did not leave.
The two ancestor witches secretly took note of the appearance of everything in the room, pulled out two chairs, climbed up and sat down.
After a while, someone came in to deliver water and fruit.
Katie felt better when she saw these things. But the long waiting later made her angry again.
Opa suddenly patted the back of her hand, "Most of the ancestor worshipers are impatient, even the patriarchs and elders. As ancestor witches, we can't learn from them."
"Opazu witch..."
"There are many things we can learn from Jiuyuan. Their priests are more open-minded than I imagined. Although their people ignore us, they accept our children, and their children will play with our children Together, this would not have been possible without the permission and push of the guy who sent our kids to his classes. Katie, I asked those kids what they learned, and I know from those kids The more people there are, the less we want to be enemies with Jiuyuan and that priest, not only because they are powerful, but also because we can't find a better neighbor than Jiuyuan."
"Opazuwu, aren't you going to leave?" Katie was surprised.
"We're leaving, but not now. Katie, open your eyes, look around you, look around this room, what do you see? Would you have thought of this without that priest?"
Katie fell silent.
Oppa Zuwu also closed her eyes and stopped talking to her. She hoped that the young Zuwu could think about it calmly before that one came.
An hour later, Yan Mo appeared on time.
After the two parties saluted, there was no politeness, and Opa went straight to the topic.
"The Chi family is coming here, we want to know what Jiuyuan plans to do?"
Yan Mo's answer is simple: "Closed the city, meet the enemy. If their target is us."
Opa understood what Yan Mo meant. He was saying that if the target of the Chi tribe was still the dwarves, Jiuyuan would just watch.
"Many ancestor worshipers live near Jiuyuan now. If the Chi clan kills them, can Jiuyuan let them cross the river?"
"Crossing the river requires a price."
"Working for you, right?"
"Yes. Dare to renege on the debt, directly caught and exchanged with other tribes."
This quid pro quo was expected. Opalai had contacted the ancestral witches of other tribes before, and they also made it clear that they could accept working in exchange for a chance to survive.
The first goal was achieved, and Oppa proposed the main goal of today, "If the Chi tribe can cross the first moat, what is Jiuyuan going to do?"
Yan Mo smiled, "What do you want us to do? We have an inner city, everyone can hide in the inner city, stand on the city wall and shoot those little monsters with bows and arrows. Even if those little monsters can cross rivers and drill holes Can't get into the city."
"Can you never go out? If the Chi tribe surrounds you and prevents you from going out to find food, what will you do?"
"We have mermaids. After the east city is Qingyuan Lake. Do you think we will be short of food? Besides, I don't believe that those Chi tribes can't kill them all."
Opa saw that the young priest's words were impeccable, so he stopped playing around with him, and said directly: "The combat power of the ancestor worship clan is not bad, but it would be better if you Jiuyuan can join in. At that time, as long as we guard the outer moat together It is not easy for the Chi tribe to cross the river because of the only passage on it.”
"If you want us to make a move, what do you think of in exchange?"
"Working for you?" Oppa asked tentatively.
Yan Mo replied with two words: "Hehe."
Oppa understood that it was impossible not to bleed this time, and said with a straight face: "If you agree to let us enter the city, not only will we resist the Chi clan with you, but I will also tell you everything about the spar. "
Yan Mo shook his fingers, leaned back on the chair, with a half-smile, "Opazuwu, do you take me for a fool, or do you take yourself for a fool?"
Half an hour later, as soon as the two ancestral witches left, Yuan Zhan jumped in from the window.
"Don't leave if there is a door." Yan Mo put his feet on the table and squinted at him.
Yuan Zhan walked up to him, pulled up a chair and sat down, "How to say?"
"One, the dwarves who cross the river must work for us for five years. Two, we will fight against the Chi clan with all the dwarves who escaped the river, and exchange the secrets of spar. Three, let the dwarves enter the inner city, and exchange the hidden method of the warrior mark , and all dwarves who enter the city will have to work for us for another five years. Fourth, all dwarves must obey our orders."
"Is it a loss?"
"I don't think it's bad, and the dwarves also think they can accept it. They must have discussed the minimum limit beforehand. I think the conditions I mentioned are still a little far from their minimum limit."
"You should call me along."
"Their leader didn't come, but they don't want you to come forward." Yan Mo rubbed his nose, "They probably think I'm easy to talk to?"
For some reason, Yuan Zhan felt that the boy with his legs up on the table, sitting still, lazily rubbing his nose looked very...cute? Yes, that's the word, he heard Mo use it to describe the brats he taught.
"Slap!" Yan Mo slapped Yuan Zhan's mouth, "What are you doing?"
"No reason, just want to take a bite."
"Go away! If you're hungry, go eat meat!"
Yuan Zhan stood up, picked up the boy, put it on his shoulders, and stepped out through the big window.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Yuan Zhan patted the ass of his own priest, "Take you to eat meat!"
Without further ado, Yan Mo was about to prick the needle.
"Jie!" A huge black shadow swooped down, pecking at Yuan Zhan's forehead with its sharp beak.
Uncle Jiufeng, who had just failed to challenge the Mermaid Grand Witch, vented all his anger on the big Twolegs who was robbing the little Twolegs with it.
If I can't beat that big fish, I can't beat you!
"Puff puff puff!" Eat my three wind blades first!
"Yuan Zhan, don't fight Jiufeng in the city!" Yan Mo subconsciously shouted.
Yuan Zhan's body swayed, and the person carrying him disappeared. Mo Du said that he was not allowed to fight, so he would not fight, and he was also reluctant, Jiufeng's strength was about the same as his, and if the two of them fought in the city, at least half of Jiuyuan City would be demolished.
"Jie!" Jiu Feng, who couldn't find anyone, cried angrily, you all bully me! I want revenge! revenge!
