Chapter 658 The master’s way of doing things
"According to your map, Master, we will soon reach the border between Night Country and Loki."
"It's pretty fast."
Sha Qiu looked at the mountains and fields in front of him and replied.
In fact, it was not very fast, because there were no carriages available after this section of the road, and Sand Dune was too lazy to ask the plants to help, so the three of them could only walk honestly.
Adore also asked where the fast-flying lotus petals he used before went.
Sand Dune sprayed him back with "The life of a lotus is also a life".
The words that were too far ahead of the times made Adore completely stupid, and finally gave up.
After traveling for several more days, they finally arrived at the junction of Night Country and Loki.
The dividing line between the two countries is a large river. There is a somewhat ancient bridge on the river, which is the only access to the two sides nearby. This river finally merges into the Star Spot Sea. At this time, everyone can also hear the sound of the rushing river coming from afar.
Although Loki is right next to the two belligerent countries in World War I, the war did not affect this place.
But when the three people came here, there seemed to be some conflicts.
There seemed to be people on both sides yelling and cursing across the river, greeting each other with the vulgar language used in their respective countries of this era. In terms of appearance, they should all be civilians.
"Yexiang people dare to act but don't act like that! You deserve your disastrous defeat in the war!" This scolding from the other side really hit the right spot in the Yexiang people's pain.
The people of Night Village were unable to reply to this, and could only turn it into simple and direct personal attacks.
Generally speaking, the people of Yexiang can't scold the Loki people on the other side of the street. It looks really pitiful.
The three of them stepped forward curiously, and Adore went up to inquire about the situation.
Soon he was back and things were going well.
It's no wonder that it didn't go well. A sharp tongue can't compare to a piece of silver. Adore feels that it's almost too simple to talk about it. Master Dune is much more capable than him.
Facing the questioning looks of Sand Dune and Nerosta, he told the information he had learned: "This incident was first initiated by the Lokis. Early in the morning a few days ago, when the residents of the nearby Night Country came to the river to fetch water. , they were insulted by words and stones thrown from the other side. The residents of Night Village didn’t care at first. The villagers here were not very well-informed, and they didn’t feel that it had anything to do with them even if they lost the war. They just thought it was someone using the war as an excuse.”
"But what the Loki people were talking about was that some people passed by their nearby village some time ago, burning, killing, looting, and going crazy. And the closest people here are the people from Ye Xiang, so they all think that it was because Ye Xiang was defeated because of their popularity. revenge."
After Adore finished speaking, he looked at the two of them and waited for their explanation.
Sand Dune didn't say anything, just looked at the river in front of him.
Nierosta said: "It's hard to say the specific situation, but it doesn't seem to be helpful for us to cross the river."
"It's not just that there is no help." Adore grimaced again, "There used to be a bridge over there that could cross the river. Usually, there were only a few guards from each country to guard it, so there was not much obstruction to the passage. Now because of the conflicts between the two sides, The Loki villagers set up a blockade on the bridge, saying that they would not allow passage until the matter was clear and the Yexiang people apologized."
Nierosta also set his sights on the sand dunes.
This matter seems to be a trivial matter, but the villagers at the junction of the two countries are conflicted. The three stowaways have no reason to cause trouble, so they might as well just let Sand Dune show his magical powers, and they will just go over and deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Sha Qiu said directly: "Isn't this matter easy to handle?"
"This can't be simple." Adore felt that the master just didn't hear clearly, so he kindly analyzed it directly for the master: "The main doubts and possible evidence here are all on the Loki side, across the There is a river that we can’t investigate even if we want to, and they are killing people here to prevent people from going over to pollute their land. If it was the people from Yexiang who did it, there is no way to apologize without evidence. If it wasn’t for Yexiang, It was done by humans, and if we don’t investigate, we won’t have any explanation to tell the Loki people, it’s a dead end!”
"No, just ask the Yexiang people to apologize." Shaqiu casually pointed at the Yexiang people over there, and then pointed to the Loki villagers on the opposite side.
The posture is quite like that of a unit leader who doesn't understand any important points but still doesn't hesitate to point fingers and show off.
Adore was also like a technical staff who was stunned by the guidance of a completely ignorant leader after all the talk. He was stunned on the spot.
Nierosta coughed twice and said: "Mr. Sandhill is right. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong for us. Crossing the bridge is what matters. As long as the people of Yexiang apologize, we can cross the bridge. That's enough."
"Ah? Isn't this unreasonable?" Adore was surprised.
"What you said made me almost forget that your character in the previous chapters was still an old liar."
This "chapter" is a unit of short-term memory within Wanyi. It has nothing to do with breaking through the dimensional wall, so don't associate it with it.
Adore was a little embarrassed.
Nierosta was a little surprised. After walking together for so many days, he realized that Adore was a liar. After all, Adore was so innocent in front of Sand Dune that he called him "Master", and he was very efficient in doing things, just like a professionally trained butler.
"Yes, this shows that you were successfully deceived by his performance." Shaqiu said to Nierosta with a smile.
Adore quickly waved his hand to show that he was not lying.
Of course he is indeed a liar and he is actually acting.
"I think you are right, sir." Suddenly unable to think straight, Adore chose to obey.
As for how to make the people of Yexiang submissive and suffer this secret loss?
Sand Dune asked Adore to gather all the Night Village residents who were tired of scolding.
"What on earth is going on with you?"
"Yes, we are very busy, we still have to farm."
"Aren't you always scolding the other side very vigorously?" Shaqiu complained.
"Anyway, if you have something to say, talk it over first. If you want to cross the bridge, there's nothing we can do about it. Just talk to those unreasonable barbarians." A Night Village resident said a little tiredly and impatiently.
Boom!
The sand dune directly dropped a small piece of gold, which was left over from Demeke's ancestors. Counting the previous purchase of the boat, the physical property in the box was almost spent.
The Adorei were even more foolish.
It doesn’t take that much to persuade these people to apologize directly! piece? No, half a piece, no, one grain... Anyway, it’s not like I’m going to take out the gold!
Nierosta continued to remain silent. Mr. Dune did everything right.
We are all stupid, and the people of Night Village are even stupider.
What's happening here?
"You guys, apologize." Wan Yi pointed over there.
"...Sir, although you seem to be very wealthy and we are just country farmers, this is not a direct insult from you..."
Boom.
Another small piece.
"……Well."
Boom.
"I understand. What we did in this matter was really unkind. The Loki folks on the other side have been wronged! We apologize immediately!"
After saying that, several Night Village residents quickly turned back and rushed to the shore, fearing that the gold would be snatched away by others if they were slow.
Dune didn't care how they divided the gold later.
The indignant Luoji villagers took a rest after being tired of scolding. When they saw the Yexiang people coming over there again, they felt that these people were very patient. They didn't even plant the land anymore. They scolded them even if they couldn't do it, for fear that they would want to "die standing there." ".
Then I heard a heartfelt apology from the residents of Night Village.
They were all dumbfounded.
What happened? Why did this group of people suddenly and boldly admit their evil deeds?
Also, this apology is getting more and more disgusting. It's a bit too greasy, and I'm almost singing folk songs.
Tell them to stop singing!
…
In this way, Dune and his party passed easily after the Rocky villagers opened the obstacles on the bridge.
Sand Dune also gave some extra fruits to the residents of Night Village, fruits that were inaccessible to the backcountry in this era.
And when the Loki villagers curiously asked how the Sand Dune group could convince the Night Country residents to apologize so sincerely, the answer made the Loki villagers feel like they were at a huge loss.
Sir, if you want to cross the bridge, why are you taking advantage of those thieves? Call us directly from across the bank! Give us so much gold and we can build a bridge for you!
But it was too late, Sand Dune passed by with Adore and Nerosta.
Looking back, the nearby Loki villagers sealed the bridge for another week.
It was originally said to be three days, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and it became a week. Whether it will be extended later depends on the temper of the Loki villagers.
