Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 129
The first to set off was the Snow Lion Tribe. Elder Yuan of the Snow Lion Tribe and Keke, the younger brother of the Snow Lion Tribe's number one warrior, Kern, had woken up early in the morning just so that they could visit Xu Jun before the champion.
Everyone knew that the first place winner was the most sincere, and they would never lose to the others in this aspect.
Elder Yuan took care of his white hair and beard, which was a rare sight. He then made Keke wear the formal attire he had worn during the banquet yesterday. Although Keke was reluctant, because this formal attire was too tight for a Beastman like him, Keke still put it on and stuffed his tail into his pants. The young Snow Lion Beastman had a sullen expression as he said, "Elder Yuan, can you not stuff my tail in …"
Elder Yuan looked at him with disappointment, "Keke, you have to be a mature and steady beastman now!!!"
Humans were arrogant. Although this human who dared to stand up to the Serpentis for the sake of two mermaid girls was not necessarily arrogant, it was better to be careful.
Elder Yuan had also heard of the name 'Hero Xu Jun'. About a year or two ago, he had occasionally heard of this name.
This hero Xu Jun had a lot of dealings with the southern beastmen. Some beastmen said that he was good-tempered and polite, and did not put on airs like humans. But there were also beastmen who said that he was cruel and greedy, and wherever he went, there would not be a single gold coin left.
This time, many southern beastmen tribes had come to participate in the Grace Festival, but Elder Yuan did not know the importance of Xu Jun at that time, so he did not inquire about him. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it.
But it was too late to ask now. The intention of hugging his thigh was too obvious, and he would be laughed at by the beastmen.
Elder Yuan of the Snow Lion Tribe stared at Keke and asked him to clean himself up. At the same time, he asked his younger daughter, Ai Ai, to help him tie his beard into a small braid. In the eyes of the Snow Lion Tribe, this was considered elegant and dignified.
After thinking about it, he asked Ai Ai to put away the precious metals, some old gold coins that were popular in the north a hundred years ago and could now be sold as antiques, three pieces of Sea Bluestone, and two Ice Clam Pearls.
If that Hero Xu Jun was really as greedy as the rumors said, he could also talk about "business" with him.
No, driven by what little pride he had left, he actually hoped to make a deal with the other party.
This way, they wouldn't have to accept the help of humans, and trading would make the Orcs feel more at ease.
With such a mood, Elder Yuan finally went out. Before he went out, he even asked Little Ai to look around carefully to see if there was anyone walking around.
He really didn't want others to find out that he had actually gone to find Hero Xu Jun. He also really didn't want the Snow Lion Clan to bear the reputation of "seeking help from others" from now on.
Beastmen also had their pride.
However, the clan's development wasn't good now. If they couldn't show off their strength in this combat tournament and raise the status of their clan a little so that they could obtain the right to be stationed in the northeast … then they would really be in danger.
Elder Yuan had lived for seventy to eighty years. He was considered an old man among the Orcs. Although he was a Shaman and lived longer than other Orcs, he still had to run around for the clan. Not only that, he often felt very powerless, as if the seventy to eighty years of his life were useless. This world was completely different from what he had imagined.
Once upon a time, the Snow Lion Clan … was a big Orc clan on the northwest ice sea.
Keke was only around ten to nineteen years old. He was a young and bright Orc. He had been on the battlefield together with his elder brother. He had also seen ferocious demons and humans who were difficult to communicate with. When he was a mercenary in the Northern Alliance Army, he often didn't have enough to eat. However, like other young people, he was full of confidence for the future. Every time Keke looked at him, Elder Yuan felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He had to create a better living environment for these children before he died.
"Keke, let's go. Let's go and visit Hero Xu Jun."
"Eh?
Should I call him Lord?
It's so strange. He looks only a little older than me. "
Elder Yuan walked with Keke on the road and found that they were quite lucky.
The Orcs in the northeast were arranged by the Golden Banner to live on the east side of the embassy. That side was more remote and there was no market or trade area. In the past, they said that it was too secluded and they couldn't find a place to have fun. Now, they felt that it was better to be secluded. There were fewer people in secluded areas!
They were getting closer and closer to Hero Xu Jun's house. After the banquet last night, Elder Yuan secretly came to check it out. However, because it was late and Hero might be resting, he could only suppress his curiosity and return to the embassy. He would go there this morning.
As a result, at the intersection, he actually met the first priest of the Serpentis, the old bastard with a face full of wrinkles called Sea Priest.
Elder Yuan knew that this matter wouldn't end well.
He roused his spirit and squeezed out a sneer from his throat. The moment Priest Hai saw him, his spirit was shaken and he assumed a fighting stance. Although there were so many old wrinkles on his face that had already covered his facial features, Elder Yuan understood him very well!
The old man's hands were clenched into fists!
Come!
Fight!
The battle was about to begin!
Sea Priest was the first to speak. "Oh, Elder Yuan, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Elder Yuan scratched his ear and turned to ask Keke. "Did you hear some strange sound?
Why do I feel like I heard the chirping of an old snake that is about to die? "
Sea Priest was not angry and only snorted. "You don't have to be like this, Elder Yuan. What's the use of trying to be a hero with your mouth?
Let me remind you, you need to eat up the ice plains in the northeast first. The Snow Lions can't stand the heat, right? "
Elder Yuan's heart was about to explode and his eyes were about to spit fire. "Do you want to die?!"
If it wasn't for the Holy City of Randal that prohibited private fights, he would have used his crutch to hit the old face in front of him!
But now, not only could he not fight, he also had to hold down Keke who was growling and trying to transform into his beast form.
Sea Priest shook his head. He was obviously very old, but at this moment, he was like a little hooligan. "Oh, oh, don't be angry. Aren't I reminding you out of kindness?
Oh, right. You are going to find that Xu Jun. That's a very wise choice. That Xu Jun's strength is not bad. He can be a thigh for you to hug ~ "
At this point, if he continued talking, he might not be able to hold himself back and start a fight. Then, he would be locked up in the Holy City Prison. But when it came to Xu Jun, Elder Yuan thought of something to say. "That Hero Xu Jun's strength is not bad. I wonder how the strength of the Serpentis that he defeated with a few punches and kicks are?
Have they recovered from their injuries? "
Sea Priest failed to disgust people and was instead disgusted. He felt as if he had swallowed a fly. "Their skin is rough and their flesh is thick. They are not really injured. Thank you for your concern, Elder Yuan."
Then, without waiting for Elder Yuan to retort, he slowly said with his hands behind his back. "But Elder Yuan, it is better for you to worry about yourself. If Xu Jun does not help you, your ranking in the Martial Arts Tournament will not be good. You will not be able to seize the Northeast Icefield. What will you do?
Do you want to go back to the Northwest with your tail between your legs? "
"— Then I am looking forward to it!"
The old and stooped Sea Priest, who looked like an ordinary old man, turned a corner and walked away from the intersection.
Elder Yuan spat and held his chest as he gasped for breath. Keke hurriedly supported him and pulled out the cork of the water bottle to let him drink two mouthfuls of ice water.
The Snow Lion Tribe originally lived in the Northwest Icefield by the seaside glaciers. They had lived there peacefully for hundreds of years. In the end, more than ten years ago, the Serpentis came ashore and drove away the Wood Spirits and Water Spirits. They also beat the Snow Lion Tribe until they were half crippled.
The group of sea snakes lived in the dark underground all year round. They were not a group of good things. They were very sinister.
They were like maggots hiding in the shadows, using the most sinister tricks to deal with their enemies.
The Snow Lion Tribe did not understand them at first. They actually thought that they were similar to ordinary Orcs. In fact, they were far from it!
How could the Orcs be so cunning?
Serpentis were different from the Orcs who only knew how to fight for territory and food!
They wanted to fight for people!
They wanted to swallow the entire Snow Lion Tribe and make the Snow Lion Tribe slaves!
Elder Yuan realized this when he found out that the Serpentis had been absorbing Orc bandit groups and some small Orc tribes. At that time, the Serpentis had slightly revealed their ferocious side. Their attitude towards the Orcs had also begun to deteriorate. Some of the Snow Lion Tribe's relatives and friends who were scattered outside were also forced to join the sea snakes. It was said that although they were able to eat and wear warm clothes, they obviously felt that they were discriminated against and despised.
However, the Snow Lion Tribe could not resist the invasion of the Serpentis. They could only migrate to other places. Five years ago, the Snow Lion Tribe came to the Northeast.
At that time, the Snow Blade Kingdom and the demons were inseparable. They would hire many Orc warriors to support them. That was why the Snow Lion Tribe was able to survive in the Northeast.
Their life under the control of the humans was not much better. However, they still had some hope in the Northeast. The ice field in the Northeast was ownerless. As long as they could show their strength during Grace Day, they could apply to be stationed in that ice field.
They could live their old lives and work hard to become stronger. One day, they might be able to fight their way back to the Northwest and bring their tribe over.
Sometimes, Elder Yuan felt that he had lived for so long just to see that day.
He finally brought Keke to the door of Xu Jun's small villa in the Second Ring Road.
"Keke, don't talk nonsense when you go in. You must be sincere to Mr. Xu Jun the Hero. We are here to ask for help. Just remember this," Elder Yuan said to Keke, and of course, to himself. Elder Yuan knocked on the door of Xu Jun the Hero's house.
Keke nodded repeatedly. Although he was usually very confident, he also knew that he had the common problem of young Orcs. He was too undignified. Compared to humans, he was like a wild child.
He was not the best warrior in the tribe. At best, he could be ranked second. This time, Elder Yuan brought him here because his brother Kern, who was the best warrior in the tribe, was injured on the battlefield and could not fight. Keke knew his position very well. He also knew what he should do in the Sacred City.
That was to get a good ranking in the fighting competition.
All of this was for the Snow Lion Tribe. As long as he could do this, his life was not important.
After knocking three more times, someone finally answered the door.
Judging from his clothes, he should be a housekeeper. He was obviously a servant, but the clothes he wore were made of good material. Such good material could be sold for 50 gold coins per meter. If the Snow Lion warriors could hunt a white deer, they could also sell it for a good price.
Elder Yuan calculated in his heart. The ice field in the northeast was good in every aspect, but there were few white deer. Some of the wild beasts could not be sold for a good price. The west was better. There was more prey and the grassland was big.
But he smiled very appropriately. He was almost like a human. He bowed deeply. "Sir, we are here to visit Mr. Xu Jun. Can you inform him?"
John, the housekeeper, looked a little conflicted. He could tell where they came from from from the Snow Lion Tribe emblem pinned on the guests' clothes.
He thought to himself, Why did they have to come now of all times? The Demon King was still there. The Snow Lion Tribe had been fighting demons as mercenaries in the north every day. If they saw the Demon King now, wouldn't they be in trouble?
For the first time in his life, John, the housekeeper, wanted to go against his upbringing and principles and push the guests out of the door.
— — This is for your own good!!!
But at this time, Mr. Xu Jun came downstairs. When he saw the guests, his eyes lit up. "Oh, it's the Snow Lion Tribe. Welcome, welcome. The Snow Lion Tribe is very famous in the north. Even if I haven't been to the battlefield in the northeast, I know that you are very brave when fighting demons!"
Elder Yuan of the Snow Lion Tribe observed carefully and found that this brave man, Xu Jun, was really praising them and was not secretly mocking them. He was instantly flattered. "Don't say that. Fighting demons is our common mission. Hahaha. Mr. Xu Jun, you are our role model. Hahaha!"
Xu Jun welcomed them in. He knew that Beastmen did not like to drink tea, so he poured two cups of milk for them. "Sit down and talk. Don't be shy. If you have something to say, just say it."
"Okay, okay, okay. Mr. Xu Jun, you are so straightforward!
Actually, it's about Serpentis and demons, and I want to talk to you in detail … "
Next, Elder Yuan started talking about how the Serpentis and Demons were the common enemies of all races in Fidelinopolis. "Mr. Xu Jun, we heard that you have an irreconcilable enmity with the Demons, so we came to ask for an alliance. We will help you unconditionally in the upcoming fighting tournament, so can you help us fight the Sea Serpent?"
The butler John's expression stiffened. He wanted to look in the direction of Mr. Xu Jun's bedroom, but he didn't dare to …
