Chapter 296: oath
The sky had darkened unknowingly, and that day was about to pass.
The two people standing outside the Blackfire clan, Huoyan and Luchen, seemed so out of place, and their attitudes and expressions were also very different at the moment. One of them was a fierce and tall-looking barbarian, and the other was a quiet and restrained, calm and calm human race.
Even A Tu squatting next to Lu Chen, this huge black wolf monster seems to be more compatible with Huoyan, a barbarian, not with Lu Chen.
The two looked at each other for a while, and no one spoke, but finally Lu Chen sighed and said, "Are you planning any more?"
There was no longer the former anger on Huoyan, and he looked much calmer. He looked at the dust and said, "I still believe that you are the priest sent by the **** of fire to save our black fire tribe."
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "It looks like your people don't believe it."
Huoyan face said without expression: "Someday they will believe." Then he frowned slightly. "I remember you said before that when the old priest gave you the stick of fire, Have you been instructed to take this artifact back to the wasteland and send it to the Altar of Vulcan? "
Lu Chen said restlessly, passing a hint of caution in his eyes, and said, "What do you mean?"
Huoyan Road: "People in the tribe ca n’t agree with you for the time being, even my father, so I ca n’t make you a priest of our black fire tribe now. But that ’s fine, let ’s take advantage of this Opportunity, go to the Altar of Vulcan together. Since Vulcan has preached that God wants you to go there, it must have deep meaning. "
Lu Chen froze and said, "Let's go together?"
Huoyan nodded and said, "Exactly, you are new here. Unknown. This Vulcan altar is actually a secret holy place that our Black Fire tribe inherited from ancient times. It is said that in ancient times, when Vulcan came to earth, It appeared in that place. Nowadays, in order to prevent the Holy Land from being spied on by outsiders, the location of the Altar of Vulcan is closely protected by our tribe. Only the patriarchs have passed from word to word from generation to generation. Now in this world, the place is still known , There are only my father and me. "
He took a deep breath and said, "So if I don't take you there, you may never find that place."
Lu Chen silently, after a while, suddenly smiled, then looked at Huoyan, and said, "You probably forgot what I said to you, right?"
Fire Rock Road: "What?"
"I am not your messenger of Vulcan. I have never felt and heard of any **** will. I got the Vulcan only by accident. I never thought of being a priest of your black fire tribe, or even Even when I came to the Southern Wasteland, it was an inexplicable accident ... "
Suddenly, Huoyan interrupted Lu Chen and said firmly: "Have you ever thought about it, maybe this is the will of Vulcan in the midst, and then you will come to our black fire tribe."
For a moment, Lu Chen was dumb, looking at the firm and firm expression on Huoyan's face, and his heart felt a sense of weakness.
At this point, he has understood that it is probably impossible to persuade this barbaric man who looks mighty and persistent. Probably for them, they have always believed in that fire **** since birth, and they will never shake it in the slightest.
Therefore, Lu Chen changed the angle decisively and said directly to Huoyan, "Well, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Now I just don't want to be a priest. What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me? "
Huoyan's breathing was a little thicker, and there was a glimmer of fierce light deep in his eyes, but soon he restrained himself and said, "Can you tell me why?"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "Do you still use me to say, it wasn't obvious to the tribe just now? Just like your father and others see me, you are barbarians, and I am a human race. When you meet, No one will believe anyone who is going to die. "
"I believe in you," Huoyan said, "Vulcan wants you to come, no matter who you are, I will believe you."
Lu Chen paused and shook his head: "It is useless to believe, and the Blackfire clan is not only you."
Huoyan said: "I can let them accept you slowly."
Lu Chen said: "Well, even if you are really so powerful, you can change everyone's thoughts, but you can't change my own thoughts. I'm a human race, and I don't really know your witchcraft, so it's impossible Be a priest of the Blackfire tribe. "
"What's so bad about being our priest?" Huoyan looked a little excited, and said, "As long as you really do it, even if you are human, but our black fire tribe starts from me and must respect and respect you, never Dare to be indifferent. And in this vast wasteland, except for our tribe, all the other barbarians who have n’t seen you will shout and kill, only we can shelter you! "
"Being a priest, maybe I will die faster."
"... What?" Huoyan gave a sudden stun.
Lu Chen took a deep look at him and said, "The tribal priesthood is so important and noble, why can you be sure that everyone will serve me as a tribe? Besides, your father and your son saw it at first.桀骜 Untamed, can they take it? "
Huoyan was silent for a while, and Lu Chen said again, "Besides, I ’m the target of this man. There is no power, the people do n’t accept it, and they have power. Other foreign people see me as a nail in the eye, and war inside and out. Assassinations must be indispensable. I won't even want to sleep at that time. Why should I live like this? "
Huoyan's mouth twitched a bit, and he stopped talking, looking at Lu Chen's bright eyes, and sighed after a long while, saying: "Ancient legend said that your people are the most treacherous and cunning, and today it seems to be worthy of it . "
"Waffle!" Lu Chen replied unceremoniously, saying, "I just don't want to die, but I look at you as a rough man, but I'm really cunning in my heart."
Huoyan hummed, and did not argue with Lu Chen, but groaned silently for a while, then suddenly said, "Is there any way to help you to the black fire tribe?"
"No." Lu Chen was not polite to the barbarian at all and rejected him straightforwardly.
But soon, Huoyan smiled suddenly, the smile seemed a bit mysterious, and seemed slightly uncoordinated on his fierce face. He lowered his voice, took a step forward, approached Lu Chen, and whispered: "If I say, maybe I can get you back to the north?"
"what!"
※※※
For thousands of years, the severance of the North and the South has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not to mention the barbarians here in the South Xinjiang, which are the righteous and powerful people in the North, the realm of human cultivation, and they are indifferent to the extremely dangerous and chaotic land. If there is a channel in the chaotic land that can penetrate north and south, the monk army of the human race has already been killed.
To Lu Chen, Huoyan's words seemed so false that he wanted to laugh subconsciously, but when he saw the serious expression on Huoyan's face, he couldn't help but swallow the words to his mouth again. After going back, after a moment of silence, he said, "Are you kidding me?"
"No." Fire Rock Road.
"Do you know there is a secret way to get me back to the northern peoples?"
"Yes!"
"I don't believe it." Lu Chen sneered suddenly, and said, "You and my tribe resemble the sea. If there is such a path, the barbarians would be afraid to kill it?"
Huoyan shook her head and said, "That road is extremely dangerous. Ordinary people can't get through. A large number of troops go. It is destined to be overwhelmed by the entire army. On the contrary, if there is a single person, there may be some opportunities."
Lu Chen sneered: "Do you think I would believe your ridiculous words?"
Huoyan stared at him, and suddenly took another step forward, but this time it was with his mouth in his ear, and said it gently with the lowest voice.
At first Lu Chen's face was still a bit cold, but soon he showed a bit of misinformation. Then he frowned and fell into contemplation, until Huoyan took a few steps back, Lu Chen still groaned. After a while, he looked up at Huoyan and said, "Is this true?"
Huoyan looked indifferent, reached out and groped in an animal skin pocket around her waist, and then lost something.
Lu Chen reached out and grabbed his palm, looked down carefully, and saw only half of a broken wooden sign, dark brown color, half the size of a palm, faintly seen a pattern carved on one side, twisted and stretched, non-character, non-printing, For a moment I didn't see what it looked like.
It was only that Lu Chen's body shook slightly, his eyes fixed on the half of the wooden sign. After a long while, he took a sigh of relief and threw the wooden sign back to Fire Rock.
Huoyan caught it and stared at the landing dust: "How? You can recognize this thing?"
Lu Chen slowly said: "I think you are lucky, not many people in the world recognize this thing, but I am one of them."
Huoyan's eyes flashed and said, "Then you believe me?"
Lu Chen remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Although you say something ridiculous, I believe it."
Huoyan quietly made a fist, took a step forward, and said, "Are you willing to help me?"
Lu Chen nodded slowly and said, "Even if there is only a little hope, I don't want to stay here."
"Okay!" Huoyan said categorically I swear to you, as long as you can help me and make the black fire tribe strong again, I will tell the secret that can make you go north. If you violate this oath, let Vulcan incriminate me, and you will not die. "
Lu Chen looked at him, but shook his head, and said, "No."
Huoyan frowned, and said, "What?"
Lu Chen stared at him, saying, "I don't want your life. If you want to swear, in the name of the entire Black Fire tribe. If you deceive me in the future, then Vulcan will abandon you and drop the punishment. The fire tribe is now extinct and will not survive! "
Huoyan was furious and roared like a beast, and suddenly grabbed Lu Chen's chest with his hands, almost lifting him up.
Atu, who was next to him, suddenly jumped in shock, exposing sharp fangs to Huoyan, and roared.
Huoyan didn't care about A Tu, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes looked at Lu Chen angrily, and said, "How dare you curse our black fire tribe?"
There was no fear on Lu Chen's face, but he just said, "Why, you dare not make this oath?" (To be continued.)
