Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1438 Facing the truth and accepting it calmly
In this regard, Xia Duo smiled and retorted without hesitation:

"Is the Patriarch Gray Eagle still deceiving himself? Presumably this elder shaman has already predicted that this year's winter will come earlier and last longer than before. What does this mean? I, a Nether, don't need to explain it. ?”

Xia Duo's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, although it seemed ordinary, it caused a circle of ripples in an instant, and the expression on the face of the Gray Eagle patriarch was no longer calm and calm at the beginning .

Instead, there was a trace of panic and fear.

As the tribal patriarch, he naturally knew the inside story better than Xia Duo, an outsider.

As early as a month ago, the great shaman had predicted that the north wind was approaching through divination, and he had predicted the next weather conditions, and several subsequent divinations proved the prediction to be true.

This year's winter did start earlier and last longer than in previous years, which means that the tribe needs to prepare more supplies for wintering, the most important of which is food.

Clothes are always accumulated in previous years. Even if there is a shortage of clothes, as long as you don't go out, it is not difficult to keep warm, but food is indispensable.

People will die if they don't eat. In this case, they can either go out to fight and plunder to get extra food, or they can only expel the old people in the tribe to reduce food consumption.

The tribal wars in the Langas Plain in autumn and winter, except for a very small number of large tribes who have no shortage of food, are just to expand themselves, and the rest of the most fundamental reasons are here.

It's very simple, it is to survive the winter smoothly (obtain food or consume population).

Because of the small number of people in small tribes, if there are no other external factors, it is actually not difficult to survive the winter smoothly, because the old and weak are already dead in normal times.

However, many large and medium-sized tribes have a large population, and it is difficult to take care of food throughout the winter.

Whether to send the people of his own tribe to die, or to rob some weaker tribes to keep his own people alive, as long as he is not stupid, he knows what to do.

The Gray Eagle tribe is indeed a big tribe, but it is not so big that there is no shortage of food, especially in the case of early and longer winter, they need to obtain supplies from the outside world.

If it was in previous years, this level is not difficult to pass, but this year is a bit special.

Because of the frequent contact with the Nethers, there were even rumors that they wanted to join the Nethers, and some big tribes caught their loopholes.

On the Langas Plain, it is difficult for large tribes and small tribes to coexist. Even small tribes that are sheltered by large tribes are still food reserves to a large extent. When there is a shortage of food, they will use it to make up for it.

The relationship between the big tribes is even more cruel. Everyone wants to be the only "big tribe of the big tribes", so all kinds of open and secret struggles never stop.

A situation like this time when several major tribes jointly encircled and suppressed another major tribe rarely occurred in the history of the Langas Plain in the past, but once it happened, the outcome of the destruction was almost difficult to change.

Down a large tribe, I don't know how many large, medium and small tribes can live a prosperous winter.

Today's Gray Eagle Tribe has come to the brink of destruction, and the Gray Eagle patriarch, whose truth was exposed by Xia Duo at this moment, finally realized that if anyone can save the Gray Eagle Tribe from being destroyed, perhaps the only person in front of him is the one in front of him.

Before that, he even wanted to discuss terms with the Nether lord, but now it seems that the previous idea was too naive.

The Gray Eagle patriarch suddenly thought that when he had just received the news that several major tribes were about to hunt Gray Eagle, the Great Shaman seemed to have aged more than ten years suddenly, and since this time, he has never rejected his words.

The great shaman knew the result at that time!

Thinking of this, the Gray Eagle patriarch turned and looked at the elder beside him. At this moment, he seemed to see a trace of relief, hope and loneliness in the other's eyes.

The Gray Eagle patriarch seemed to understand something, the panic in his eyes gradually disappeared, instead showing a hint of awareness, he calmly said to Xia Duo:

"Are the words promised by Arman on behalf of Lord Xiaduo still true?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

"'You can send some people to your territory first to look at' this!"

As soon as Xia Duo was obedient, he immediately understood that he was about to take refuge, so he made a promise himself, "Even now, those words still count!"

And said: "Does the Patriarch Gray Eagle want to see where they will live in the future? I also have a Langas tribe there, and they are living very well now."

"Oh?" Gray Eagle patriarch's eyes lit up and asked, "Which tribe is it?"

"Have you heard of the Kadun tribe, the Gray Eagle patriarch?"

"I seem to have heard of it, but I don't remember it."

The Gray Eagle patriarch was embarrassed to say that he had never heard of the Kadun tribe, but at this moment, the great shaman who had been silent before suddenly interjected:
"The Kadun tribe is a small tribe in the east. I met their shaman when I was young. We met in the wild and hunted the same barbarian lizard together."

When it came to the end, the big shaman showed nostalgic expression on his face, and finally asked: "Is that shaman still alive?"

"I probably guessed who you were talking about! Unfortunately, he has already passed away. In order to save the warriors of the tribe, he used up the last ounce of strength in his life."

Speaking of which, Xia Duo personally presided over the funeral of that Kadun shaman!
At that time, the Linshui Village cemetery had just been built, and a formal burial ceremony was required. In addition, the Kaduo tribe had just joined the Daxia Territory. To show their importance, Xia Duo presided over it himself.

"It doesn't matter, the meaning of the shaman's existence is for the tribe, and he deserves to die like this." Gray Eagle Shaman said seemingly calmly.

Xia Duo was silent, and then brought the topic back to the original track: "I don't know who the Gray Eagle patriarch plans to send to the Great Xia Territory?"

"Can I go there myself?"

"No problem, shall we go now, or—"

"Go over now!"

Now that he has made up his mind, the Gray Eagle patriarch will no longer be coy. If he hadn't seen the actual situation of the Daxia leader with his own eyes, perhaps he would have agreed now.

Immediately afterwards, the Gray Eagle patriarch asked the shaman again, "If anyone comes to me, just say that I am praying to the ancestors, and hope that the tribe can get through this difficult time."

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will take care of the tribe."

"Well, hard work shaman."

……

The process of the conversation between the two did not hide from Xia Duo, and quickly explained all the affairs in the territory. After that, the Gray Eagle patriarch showed a look of death, and said to Xia Duo:
"Lord Xiaduo, I'm ready."

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, the teleportation spell is very safe, and you will be able to see the real situation of the Great Xia Territory soon!"

Saying that, Xia Duo directly opened the portal leading to the Codex Square of the territory in the Ancestral Spirit Hall, and then walked in first, and waved to Lord Gray Eagle on the opposite side.
