Chapter 778 Xiao Ai (Please Subscribe)
In the Renian Empire, the Keo tribe is a rather peculiar sub-tribe. Everyone knows that they are a sub-tribe of orcs. The men are okay and have obvious horns on their heads, but the women are more peculiar. One of them is that they have no horns. , and have no tail features. Few people know where their features are. Sometimes they even mistake Keao women for human women.
But Tang En knew.
Needless to say?
The characteristics are clearly right in front of you!
Big, really ****!
The huge balls that were trembling and firm against gravity completely attracted Tang En's attention. Even the pouting Ilia pinched him several times and couldn't get his attention back.
So the jealous girl glared angrily at the big cow opposite and couldn't help cursing her, "It's better to throw her down hard."
"Alas!"
Hearing an exclamation, the big cow that had just opened the door and led the way tripped and bumped directly into Tang En's arms. Its warm, soft but surprisingly elastic balls firmly resisted Tang En's approach.
Tang En swallowed his saliva and supported the big cow, finally managing not to lose his grace.
Awesome my brother!
Next to them, Angus, Mengkarn, Ursa, and Kaa all expressed their shock.
Is this guy so charming? We just met and I couldn’t help but throw myself into my arms!
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
The big cow apologized weakly: "I don't know why, but I suddenly lost my balance..."
"No need to apologize, I can understand your difficulties!"
Tang En sighed and said: "It's a bit hard to be so old..."
"?"
The big cow looked confused.
"What's your name? My name is Tang En."
"My name is 'love'."
"like?"
"Yes, there is only one word in the name. It is said that my parents said that there must be love, so I was born, and my name is 'Love'."
"...Then...Okay...Ai...I'll call you Xiaoxi."
Tang En called out a little against his will, "Little love?" It's not an exaggeration to call it "big" love.
"Um."
Perhaps it was due to Tang En's undifferentiated charm aura that Xiao Ai did not resist Tang En's title. Rather, it was because the pleasant communication with Tang En reduced her a lot of tension.
After following Xiao Ai into the ranch, Tang En discovered something.
Quiet.
This pasture is really too quiet. As a pasture, there must be many animals, but there is not even a sound of animals here, which is very unusual.
Also, there was a layer of dust on the hallway of the ranch room, as if no one had cleaned it in a while.
"Xiao Ai, why is it so quiet here?"
Xiao Ai looked a little sad: "That's because everyone is gone."
"No more?"
"Um……"
Xiao Ai nodded without explaining too much. After taking Tang En and the others to the dormitory where the employees lived and arranged the room, she said, "You guys should have a rest, and I'll prepare dinner. There are too many of you, so I might It will be a little slower, please don’t worry, and the amount of food may not be enough..."
"We're here to help you."
Vanilla took the initiative to stand up, along with several mercenaries who were good at cooking.
"No, no need..."
Xiao Ai was a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked at Tang En.
Of all the people, she only trusted Tang En.
The smell of blood on other people's bodies was too strong.
"Let me help you too."
Tang En's smile dispelled Xiao Ai's nervousness. She nodded gratefully and took Tang En, Vanilla and the others to the kitchen.
Xiao Ai said a little embarrassedly: "There is not much to eat, they have taken it all away, only some fresh milk and cheese are left, there are two pieces of bacon, and then some cereals..."
"Snatch it?"
Vanilla noticed her choice of words sensitively.
"It's nothing, please don't worry about it."
Xiao Ai said sadly: "After tonight, please leave here as soon as possible."
Tang En looked at the big cow thoughtfully. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about food. We bring our own food when we travel."
"ah?"
Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, then she saw Tang En wave his hand, and then the table was filled with hot food, many of which were delicious delicacies that she had never seen before.
"W-what's going on?"
Xiao Ai was obviously a little confused: "How come all of a sudden -"
"Have you ever heard of space equipment?"
Tang En shook the ring on his hand: "I am a magician."
"Magician!"
Xiao Ai exclaimed: "They are those magicians who control the power of elements and can control the wind and rain!?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Although people often showed such admiration before, but for some reason, Tang En felt particularly satisfied today...
Looking at his expression, Vanilla silently took out the kitchen knife next to her and touched it, then inserted it on the chopping board with an expressionless expression. She glanced sideways at Tang En and said, "Come out with me."
Tang En coughed lightly and immediately skipped the topic, letting Xiao Ai and others serve the dishes. He and Vanilla came outside.
"Business matters. I'm not here to pick up girls. Don't go too far."
"Of course I know."
"Ask her later what happened to Bicun."
"Aren't you in a hurry to return to Bulcasso? Is it necessary to create extra complications?"
"It's not an extraneous incident. My intuition tells me that what happened in Bicun is related to shamanism."
Vanilla said calmly: "In the Renian Empire, the only people who would attack villages are Warcraft and cults. The word 'rob' she just used means that she is from a cult. And the Snake of Darkness has been destroyed, and the madman of the Chaos Cult We don’t know how to rob things, so from a comprehensive perspective, it’s just shamanism.”
"Shamanism has always claimed to the outside world that it is harmless and a green organization that loves peace. Our ancestors believed in it at the beginning. This is the root of everything."
"As their numbers gradually increased, they began to ask us to respect their teachings, respect their eating habits, and allow us to adapt to their lives."
"When their numbers became larger, they began to ask us to join them, otherwise we would be heretics. Since then, the struggle between Shamanism and the Vulcan Church has officially begun."
"Villages like Bi Village that are far away from Bulkesso have always been the hardest hit areas by shaman attacks. They especially like to sneak attack on these villages during the patrols of the imperial patrols. Adult orcs who are unwilling to join the religion will be burned to death by them, while young children will be burned to death by them. He will be kidnapped by them and indoctrinated with shamanistic teachings from an early age."
Having said this, Vanilla said meaningfully: "If you want to find a shaman, I think this is a good opportunity."
"I see."
Tang En was thoughtful. Hearing that Vanilla and Meng Kahn had such bad reviews of shamanism, Tang En was now very confused as to why Hohenheim chose to use the shaman's totem when refining the royal staff. Could it be that Can't you complete this staff of regalia without using a totem?
After chatting with Vanilla for a while, Xiao Ai began to invite everyone to come over for dinner.
At the dinner table, Xiao Ai's mood became a little normal, but seeing the mercenaries eating and drinking wildly, the big cow, who was completely in the style of an innocent girl from the countryside, couldn't help but move closer to Tang En. Only This will make her nervousness disappear.
Tang En's appearance has indeed greatly eased Xiao Ai's tension. Bicun has not been peaceful these days. There was a large-scale disaster not long ago, and the Bicun dairy industry in the suburbs has also been repeatedly affected. Xiao Ai's parents have also been affected. She died in the previous disaster, and now all the employees of the ranch have disappeared, leaving only Xiao Ai herself in the entire ranch.
In the Renian Empire, it would be difficult for a girl like her to survive with no one to rely on and no fighting ability. She would not be able to manage a ranch by herself. The best outcome would be to become some first-class Asian A vassal or plaything of the clan, at least they can still survive.
After a sumptuous dinner, Tang En brought out sweet desserts and drinks to entertain the host. After drinking such delicious drinks, Xiao Ai obviously relaxed a lot.
Vanilla winked at Tang En hurriedly, Tang En nodded slightly, and then asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ai, can you tell me what happened in Bicun?"
"No, nothing happened."
Xiao Ai, who was holding the drink bottle, lowered her head, but tears appeared in the eyes of the girl who was not good at hiding it.
"Can you please talk to us?"
Tang En comforted her in a low voice: "We are mercenaries. You let us stay overnight as payment. Now that we have accepted the payment, we should complete the employer's commission."
"Employer? Entrustment?"
Xiao Ai, with tears in his eyes, raised his head: "Please stop asking, okay? I don't want you to take risks."
"Don't forget, I am a powerful magician. Please tell us what happened, and we will definitely help you if we can."
"Really?"
"real."
"Don't lie to me?"
"Do not lie to you."
Xiao Ai continued to press: "You won't give me hope and then abandon me and leave?"
Tang En resolutely said: "No."
Xiao Ai took a deep breath, and then... "wow" burst into tears, and tearfully told everything that happened to Bicun.
It turns out that just as Vanilla said, just half a month ago, Bicun was attacked by shamans. Dozens of believers swept away the entire Bicun almost frantically. You must know that Bicun is just a very ordinary small orc village. , because it is far away from the border and is still a settlement of second-class sub-tribes, mainly engaged in farming. The combat effectiveness here cannot be compared with that of the regular orc army.
On the other hand, shamanism mastered the power of magic by coincidence in the early stages of civilization, and formed a primitive worship that continues to this day. This primitive worship has become the supreme and only truth, and is deeply rooted and cannot be changed unless it is completely eliminated. , otherwise it will only assimilate other people and not be changed by them.
According to Tang En's understanding, the core believers of shamanism are actually magicians among orcs. With dozens of believers, even if only one orc is the core believer who has mastered basic spells, this small village cannot resist it.
The result was obvious. Hundreds of orcs were killed and injured in Bicun, and dozens of young children were kidnapped.
Xiao Ai's parents were also captured by shamans during that attack. Because they were devout Vulcan believers and were unwilling to change their beliefs and join shamanism, they were tied to stone pillars and burned alive by the shamans.
Later, the ranch was also attacked by the shamans. Fortunately, Xiao Ai went out to pick wild fruits at that time and just avoided this disaster. When she came back, she found that there was no one on the ranch.
Then she learned the bad news when she arrived in Bicun. Then she refused the help of the villagers and hid in her home crying and refused to go out.
She had been in a daze for several days. If Tang En and the others hadn't appeared to break her daze, she would probably have continued to be in a daze.
