Seeing the puzzled look in the red dragon's eyes, Luna Xueyu knew that he had misunderstood.
"Dear Dragon, it's not that I'm cursed," she gritted her teeth, "it's the curse cast on me by the Harpy race."
Jose frowned.
Dragons have a long history and are one of the oldest species in the multiverse, but it was only tens of thousands of years ago that they entered the material plane. When the dragons migrated to the Tidanore plane, many species that exist today have not yet been born. , including the Harpy.
According to the records of the inheritance of the dragon, the harpies were born in the early third era more than 6,000 years ago. At that time, the elf dynasty had just defeated the dwarves and goblins, and it was in the stage of vigorous development. The curious high elves actively Explore abroad.
Among these high elves, there is a mysterious organization composed of a group of arrogant mages. They actually try to steal the power of the gods. They are not wild gods worshiped by the island natives, but real gods who occupy a place in the pantheon.
Although this group of high elf mages were crazy, they still had the most basic sense. The object they stole was not a god in a normal state, but an unlucky one who was seriously injured and on the verge of falling.
Undoubtedly, those crazy mages got away with it, but they also succeeded in killing the weak and unlucky god. own culprit.
All the male high elves in the mage organization died, and the female high elves grew feathers. Their originally white hands turned into bird wings, and their feet turned into skinny eagle claws, becoming the current Harpy.
Jose's face was a little bright, he never expected that Luna Blood Feather would make this request, which was a curse left by the gods.
"Why do you believe that I have the ability to solve the curse on you?!"
"You're special, I'm willing to take a gamble," Luna Bloodfeather smiled self-deprecatingly, "To tell you the truth, ever since I found out that I was supposed to be an elf, turning back into an elf has been the biggest challenge in my life." wish."
For someone with a dream in his heart, Jose didn't want to hit her.
There was a long silence.
"If I heard correctly just now, what you just said was to lift the curse for you personally when I can, right?"
"That's right."
"Okay, I agree to your terms."
It's fair for Harpy to exchange the initial investment for help after her growth.
After a while, Jose's third family member was born, and the Blood Feather Clan was also successfully incorporated under his command.
Accompanied by his new entourage, José flies between the cliffs to observe the condition of the harpies.
"Luna, what is the population of your tribe? How many fighters are there?"
"Master, the Blood Feather Clan has sixty-four harpies including me, five fighters, and four junior fighters besides me. Both of them are elites I brought out from the Red Nest. Scout."
"I want you to send three harpies to assist my family, the bloodtooth kobold tribe, in hunting. As compensation for delaying your hunting, you can get part of the prey."
The master's request and compensation, Luna Blood Feather will naturally not refuse: "As you wish."
"Also, tell your clansmen to monitor the gray-tailed centaur tribe while they are active on the grassland, and collect their intelligence, including the tribe's internal power framework, food storage location, and who they have contacts with."
Jose noticed that the family members on the side hesitated: "What? Is there any problem?"
"Master, did the gray-tailed centaur offend you?"
Luna Bloodfeather paused: "The gray-tailed centaur is an ally of the Bloodfeather clan. We provide the centaur with information about the caravan on the grassland, and they leave us food, one-third of the bloodfeather clan's food. From the gray-tailed centaur."
"Oh," Jose then remembered that the harpies are also a famous bandit race, and the two gangs joined forces to get what they needed, and everything was so reasonable.
"It's okay to offend, but they blocked my way."
"I will immediately sever contact with the gray-tailed centaur!"
"No! You continue to cooperate! And even more closely!"
With such a good opportunity to penetrate the enemy, how could Jose let it go: "Come inside and outside at the critical moment. Also, tell me what you have learned, especially their Khan."
Luna Bloodfeather lowered her head to organize her words, then raised her head: "The Khan of the Gray-tailed Centaur Tribe is Mudahan Graytail, he is a mid-level fighter, I fought with Mudahan Graytail I have interacted with him many times, and he gives me the feeling that he is very dangerous, and he is probably about to break through to a high level, and he also has a brother who is a real high-level fighter."
"A high-ranking soldier? Brother?" Jose looked at the family member suspiciously, waiting for her further explanation.
"That's right, he does have a high-ranking warrior brother named Hamur Graytail. Hamur Graytail didn't stay in the tribe. He joined a gang of centaur bandits and went hunting on the prairie. ’, but his connection with the tribe has not been severed, and he will return to the tribe every year for the winter.”
Luna Bloodfeather continued: "In addition, the gray-tailed centaur is also in contact with the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce, and most of the stolen goods they plundered are sold through the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce."
Sure enough, none of the tribes that can eat meat on the grassland is simple.
Jose thought so, but he was more afraid of the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce than the centaur natives.
In the prairie where disputes abound, the chamber of commerce is not just a mere merchant organization, without enough force to protect it, not to mention the barbaric aborigines on the prairie, business competitors will make you disappear on the vast prairie first.
"How much do you know about this Blackwater Chamber of Commerce?"
"I only met those merchants once, and I bought a few things from them. I only know that they come from Sunsail Port in the east."
Yangfan Port, the city of thousands of sails, the land of gold and silver, and the fertile soil of hope, is the end point of the only sea route between the human world and the northern prairie, and it is also the starting point for the wealth of the prairie to flow into human society.
Jose thought about it for a while. It is unlikely that the centaur and the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce are closely related. It should be a purely beneficial cooperation, but this cooperative relationship is enough to spread the news of its existence to human society, which will lead to immeasurable consequences. .
You must be cautious when attacking the centaur tribe.
Flying, Jose saw a strange bird's nest, which was larger than other bird's nests, covered with banana leaves for shelter from the rain, and blue and white flowers dotted on the branches as supports.
This elf wind blowing towards his face is undoubtedly the boudoir of his family members.
He took a look at Luna Blood Feather. Even though there was not enough food, he made great efforts to decorate his lair. It seemed that her desire to become an elf was really strong.
"Huh?!"
Jose noticed something shiny in the lair: "There's even a mirror."
"Haha, I bought this from a human merchant for three gold coins," said Luna Blood Feather with an expression of earning it.
Jose felt a toothache.
Three gold coins for a mirror? !
It's more profitable than robbery!
He began to understand why the nobles in the south of the Jogol Mountains wanted to open up trade routes regardless of the cost. Faced with such huge profits, no one could hold back.
