Chapter 9 The Best of the Worst

It was dark when their business was over.The torches illuminated the stone wall and the continuous crossbars under their feet. Because of the lack of tools, these crossbars that should have been processed into planks were very rough and strong.Yun Shen was careful about his footsteps. After all, it was in the air nearly ten meters above the ground. The place where he landed was just a crossbar embedded in the stone wall. The width of the trestle bridge was about [-] centimeters. There were no fences or handrails, and the fire was not too bright. Under the circumstances, he really couldn't relax.

A group of patriarchs who received Yun Shen sent him to a grotto, left the torches for him and Fan, and then left.Seeing their backs disappearing into the deepening darkness, Yun Shen let out a long breath.

They didn't need to say anything, because he had already decided to stay here for the past few months, and the existence of an "adult" like Yun Shen was the guarantee for the survival of their tribe.Because this requirement was too low, Yun Shen asked the reason, and the patriarch answered him very seriously, because of what happened this autumn, they decided to move the entire tribe to the other end of the Lois Mountains.They are not the only tribes that have encountered the same predicament. If they fight alone, they will end up in destruction, but if they form an alliance, they will have the power to break through.On issues such as leadership and expected land distribution, the leaders of each tribe had a lot of disputes, and finally decided to use the size of their power to divide the size of the land they could use after migration.

The territory of the Hermes family only ends at the Lois Mountain Range. This mountain range still has a certain status in the Central Continent, because it crosses the borders of three countries, and its sovereignty is somewhat vague, but in fact it is Hermes who has the control family.Their ancestors were originally peasants and soldiers in a certain noble territory. Because of their bravery in battle, the most important thing was that they saved the life of the then king of Bodor in a battle, so they were promoted from peasants and soldiers very rarely. After becoming a baron, in the long years since then, the Hermes family has relied on their loyalty to the royal family and their achievements in repeated foreign wars. The title of the lord has been promoted from baron to earl, which is already second only to the honor of the royal family. After all, only members of the royal family have the title of duke.No matter how rotten the nobles of the capital are, the iron-blooded family that guards the border all the year round still makes its enemies fearful.Facing the Hermes family who controls tens of thousands of troops, the stone fort where they are currently living, known as the "survivors", can indeed provide protection, but if the border guards expose this matter and spread it to Hermes In the ears of anyone in the Si family, the consequence is likely to be that they are erased from the world—anyway, this is not the first time the Hermes family has done this.

In fact, the original situation was not that bad. The Hermes family basically dismissed these tribes that stubbornly survived in this place. Even the taxes were represented by the border guards. Even they themselves did not know how many people lived Among the rolling mountains, people who came to settle here for various reasons have a certain degree of freedom, and the arrival of war destroyed all this.Because of the lack of news, the people living in the Lois Mountains did not know the cause of the war, but everyone knew that the scale of this war would never stop at the scale of "border conflicts".As well-known as Hermes' cruelty to outsiders is their love for their soldiers. They only fight "valuable" battles, and recruiting these barbaric aliens is nothing more than a blood mill that goes into war and becomes their mobile phone. It's just a city wall or cannon fodder for war.

Compared to this future, nearly ten tribes including the survivors would rather abandon the land where the remains of their ancestors are buried and move to a new place where they can survive. Even the orc kingdom's attitude towards them is no better than that of the Hermes family. How much, but it is said that the orcs were not involved in the war between the Blackstone Kingdom and the Principality of Lazuli, and although the orcs are amazing in physique, they are extremely poor in agriculture, and they should be more tolerant of outsiders who will cultivate the land for them.

This kind of choice is nothing more than choosing one of two rotten apples that doesn't look so bad. Unlike modern elections, there is nothing to guarantee their expectations will be realized, such as the orc village over there promising to provide them with soil of.In this world, the credit of the orcs can be regarded as low-human beings make deals with them, as long as there is not enough power to deter them, the orcs will think that any agreement proposed by these powerless but cunning bugs is deceitful, and they will regret it Then the massacre is the story that often happens next.Those tribes that decide to move must prove to the orcs over there that they at least have the ability to protect themselves. This is almost impossible for a single tribe, but it becomes capital when they unite.

Yun Shen supported his head, life in another world is not easy, there is no doubt about it, but judging from the situation that the patriarch tried his best to accurately describe to him, the reality is still much more complicated than he imagined.This tribe doesn't have to do anything for him, as long as Fan needs to come forward, as Fan's master, he will be with him, and they will handle the rest by themselves. However, in all fairness, after realizing that this tribe may be After his compatriots from the same world, can he still face all this with the attitude of a bystander?

The answer was in Yun Shen's mind, and it might have existed before rational analysis, so the next question became what he could do about it—thinking of it this way, he could do a lot.Now that I think about it, the customer service of the Space-Time Management Bureau is simply a manipulator of fate. She did not hesitate to open a cheat for him, how convenient it was for him.As for whether the approval was given to him because he foresaw the current situation, Yun Shen never thought about this possibility at all.

The night wind was blowing on Yun Shen's face with coolness. It was different from the wind full of earth and plants that he felt when he was camping. Passing through the sound of the wind caused by the large and small holes here, he looked up at the starry sky. On the unfamiliar star map, there were the same bright stars.And at his feet, wrapped in the night, is a group of people who are both helpless to fate and unwilling to compromise, stubbornly fighting for all hopes.Even though the world has been traversed and the living environment has undergone great changes, "people" are still "people". The darkness and light in human nature structure every detail of history and continue the conflict of civilizations.

"Aren't you resting?" Fan's voice came from behind him. The handsome young man was standing at the entrance of the grotto, and he had been looking at him for some time.

Yun Shen, who was caught in a rare emotional emotion, smiled and walked in with him. Fan then lowered the thick animal skin curtain at the door to block Night Breeze.The air in the room is not stuffy, just by the light of the torch, Yun Shen found a few holes in the stone wall on the other side. He walked over to have a look, and wanted to put his hand into these fist-sized vents. Fan Yanming quickly grabbed him.

"There may be something passing by," Pham told him, "like 'Scorpion.'"

When they were camping, such "gadgets" were not uncommon. With an instinctive fear of arthropods, Yun Shen took a step back.Fan took something and put it in, and Yun Shen smelled the smell of plants, then Fan turned to him and said, "That's it."

"Fan, do you know how to write your name?" Yun Shen asked suddenly.

Fan nodded, "Which one do you want to know?"

"You have two names?"

"One is for outside use, and the other is the real name of our clan." Fan said, Yun Shen took out a pad and a water-based pen from the inner pocket and gave it to him, Fan took it and said, "You didn't let them see these, did you?" Yes."

"Why?" Yun Shen asked.

Fan looked at him very seriously, "The priest is very old, but we don't want him to die so soon." Then he handed back the pad and pen to him.

Yun Shen looked at the above line of characters with fluent strokes like cursive characters, and the three crooked Chinese characters below, which basically confirmed his guess, although those words seemed very difficult to write——Yun Shen Walking under the torch, I tried my best to recognize it, "...Fan-Tian-Lan."

"Is this my name?" Fan also leaned over, "Is that how it is pronounced?"

Seeing the innocent face of the young man beside him under the firelight, Yun Shen asked, "Don't you know?"

"I left the tribe after the priest gave me my name, I just remember it roughly."

...The pronunciation was too deviated. Yun Shen reluctantly remembered Fan Tianlan's distorted pronunciation when he introduced himself to him. Where did he live to bring his accent like this? Obviously, he basically remembered the characters, ah, no, Their language should have assimilated with this world, "Isn't it the same as your tribe's way of speaking?"

"They use native language, how to read these words, maybe even the priests have forgotten, only the ancient books are left." Fan Ping said, Yun Shen suddenly raised his head to look at him, his eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Books?"

Rarely did Fan see his obvious expression, and immediately replied: "The priest collects the classics. Although he ran very fast today, he took your book away, so only the classics can be exchanged with you. Even if you don't say , he will also bring himself to you, this is only fair."

"That would be great..." Yun Shen murmured.

"For us, it's great that you're here." Fan—to be precise, Fan Tianlan was rarely talkative tonight, and being watched so seriously by him, Yun Shen felt a little bit unstoppable , can only smile at him.

"For me, it's also good to see you." Yun Shen said, and after a pause, he looked into Fan Tianlan's eyes and asked, "Do you have any doubts about where I came from?"

Fan met his gaze and said calmly, "Yes. But I know now is not the time, and it doesn't matter."

Yun Shen laughed, "You still don't know what I will bring."

"You've brought the best," Fan whispered, "and that's hope."
