181. Night visit
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and said, "That's what I think. First of all, our village is still too weak, especially compared with orcs and orcs, our three or four hundred people are simply a drop of water in the sea, insignificant."
"Yes, Shi Tou said that we have the Behemoth and can protect ourselves, but don't forget that we only have more than thirty Behemoths. If we are facing thousands of orcs and half-orcs, do you think these dozens of Behemoths can come in handy?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. They also knew that once they encountered an army of orcs or half-orcs, these giant feet could not protect the village and villagers at all.
Xiao Chen continued, "So, we must form an alliance with the Elf King and use the power of the Allied Army to protect our own villages and villagers."
"Of course, we can't be foolish in being cannon fodder. We must negotiate with the Elf King to explain our position and our bottom line."
"We can fight against orcs, but we must not fight alone, let alone be used as bait. We can only be the key force responsible for turning the situation around in the battlefield. I believe that the Elf King is a smart person, and he should be able to think of the key of this."
Shi Tou was still a little worried. "What should we do if that elf king didn't take our words seriously?"
"This is easy to deal with," Xiao Chen said with a smile, "I just need to tell the Elf King that if he is unwilling to consider our suggestions, then he will lose our Allied Army, and we will turn to the Allied Army of the Orcs and Orcs to help them attack the Allied Army of the Elf King!"
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the other four people in the audience were shocked! Because they had never thought of forming an alliance with the orcs and orcs!
Shi Tou stuttered, "Xiao Chen, what did you say? How could we all form an alliance with orcs and orcs? Do you know that those monsters have no feelings at all, and they are as cold as stones, how could they tolerate us weak humans?
Moreover, we just destroyed a half-orc tribe a few days ago. If the orc's Ancient Sword General found out, he would not let us go. How could he receive us into their Allies?"
Ahua nodded from the side, agreeing with Shi Tou's statement.
The old witch doctor and the old village chief did not interrupt, but just looked at Xiao Chen, wanting to hear what he would say about this matter.
"No," Xiao Chen said lightly, "Now these two forces in the Death Forest are expanding their arms and preparing for a big battle. Although our human race is weak, we have giant feet that can help us fight. Moreover, we have destroyed one of their half-orc tribes before. All of this will make the half-orc general and the orc general look at us with admiration. I believe they should know our value."
Seeing Shi Tou and Ahua looking at him with complicated expressions, Xiao Chen shook his hand and said with a smile, "But don't worry, I don't really want to surrender to orcs and half-orcs. I said that just to put pressure on the Elf King to force him to agree to our request. I believe that with the Elf King's mind, I will definitely figure out the key point." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will do the negotiations with the Elf King. I will definitely let the Elf King know that our human race is not that easy to fool!"
Xiao Chen volunteered to take on the important task of negotiating with the Elf King, and the village chief and Ahua's people naturally wanted it. They also believed that Xiao Chen was the best candidate for negotiation.
After everyone discussed, they went back to rest. The human soldiers were very tired because they had gone through a long journey. The celebrations for the day did not take place immediately, but waited for the next day, after everyone had rested, and then held a grand celebration.
It was late at night and the villagers all entered their dreams. Xiao Chen was lying in his small wooden house, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. He always felt that his small house seemed to be under the surveillance of others. After thinking about it, he sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, walked out of the small wooden house, and stared around under the moonlight.
The village under the moonlight was quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, one or two strange screams of unknown creatures came from the surrounding dense forests, and some worms screamed, with the faint fragrance of grass in the air. Xiao Chen looked at the three bright moons above his head, took a deep breath, and remembered his mother who was far away in his hometown. He shook his head and prepared to return to the cabin to sleep and rest.
As soon as he walked into the wooden house, Xiao Chen found something was wrong. He immediately touched the stone knife on his waist, but after he touched it all. Only then did Xiao Chen remember that his stone knife had been sold to the system. Now, he had no self-defense weapon except bows and arrows.
"Who are you? Why do you come in my room?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said to a figure in the darkness.
The figure in the dark, with a slim figure, wearing a ponytail, was sitting on Xiao Chen's bed with his legs raised. The moonlight shone in, revealing her beautiful and beautiful face. It turned out to be the female elf they met on the road before, Mona.
Mona smiled faintly and said, "Your name is Xiao Chen, right? I felt a different soul fluctuation in you. Who are you?"
Xiao Chen did not answer, but stared at the female elf vigilantly, but he also understood in his heart that the female elf should have no malice towards him, otherwise he would not have appeared in front of him openly, and he would have secretly killed him.
However, Xiao Chen did not want to answer any questions about Mona, because this was a secret involving his identity and he did not want to disclose it to anyone.
"Haha, I have no malice. I am just curious about your identity," Mona stood up and walked slowly to Xiao Chen. Her bright big eyes looked up and down at Xiao Chen, then she turned around him and said with a smile, "You are a very strange person, I am very interested in you. My name is Mona, I have no malice towards you. The reason why I appear here is just to see what attitude you humans have towards our king's proposal."
"I heard you talked in the village chief's house yesterday. I was very interested in your views on our elves, and I think the number of you is too fussy. We elves cannot treat you like cannon fodder. Since we have formed an alliance, we are comrades and friends. Our elves will not betray their friends."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything, and he didn't agree with Mona's statement. After all, the person who made the decision in the end was the Elf King, not the female elf in front of him. He believed that Mona was kind, but Xiao Chen had never contacted and understood other people in the Elf clan, so he did not dare to draw a rash conclusion.
Mona looked at Xiao Chen's expression and knew that he didn't trust the elves in his heart, but she was not angry, just smiled slightly, "You have not had contact with our elves, so you don't know what we are. I believe that if we contact more in the future, you will know that we elves are very friendly and love peace."
She looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late tonight. I must rush back to the Elf Tribe, like the Elf King's report, hoping to see you on the day of the negotiation," she said, "After saying that she smiled at Xiao Chen, then ran to the village lightly, rode her bizarre bird, then flapped her wings and flew into the sky, and disappeared into the vast night.
Xiao Chen looked at Mona's voice as he went away and fell into deep thought. He didn't know why this elf woman was so interested in him? Did Mona already realize that he was not a human in this world?
This situation is not impossible. After all, the elves are very sensitive to magic fluctuations. Xiao Chen was able to come to this world full of magical power, perhaps because of some unknown magic, that he brought him from his original world here.
So far, Xiao Chen only believes that all the people in the village he is in are vigilant about the outside world and the outside races, because he doesn't know what those people will think of him. Only the simple people in the village will treat him as friends.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen returned to his bed and covered himself with a quilt, and gradually fell asleep.
There were still several days before negotiations with the elves, so the next day, the village held a grand celebration as usual. In fact, there were only three or four hundred people in the village, which could not be called grand at all. However, it was indeed much more lively than usual. People raised a huge bonfire in the middle of the square, and then every household took out their treasured wine and food, and everyone placed them together and enjoyed them at will.
Some people who can play musical instruments surrounded the bonfire and played the instrument called the organ in their hands. The melodious singing made the men and women present dance. The soldiers who returned triumphantly naturally became the focus of all the girls in the village. Even several girls snatched a guy in short supply and were very popular.
Except for married men like Ah Hua who were unable to participate, the rest of the unmarried men were pulled to the center of the square and sang and danced with the beautiful girls. Xiao Chen was also pulled up by three or four little girls and ran to the center of the dance hall, dancing a crappy dance with an awkward look on his face.
Xiao Chen is not good at dancing. He sings himself is also very good. He is just a newcomer and knows nothing about dances and songs in this world. However, he is talented and intelligent. After watching it for a while, he roughly understands how to choose such dances, and how to sing the songs they sing.
The old village chief and the old witch doctor also watched the villagers party together with a smile. The two old men raised their glasses and touched each other, and then drank them all with a smile. They have always been good partners. When the old village chief was young, the old witch doctor also took over the previous position and became the new witch doctor in the village. The two have always complemented each other and helped the village through one difficulty after another.
"Old He, how long has it been since we both been as happy as we are now?" The old witch doctor drank a glass of wine and asked the old village chief next to him with a smile.
The old village chief shook his head and said, "I don't remember either. Daheizi, aren't you a witch doctor? Don't you know it by calculating your witchcraft? I'm old and can't remember anything that happened. Even if I think of it occasionally, it's just a few fragments."
The old witch doctor smiled and said, "You have a good memory. You still remember my name when I was a child," he sighed slightly, "There are no more people as old as us in the village, right?"
"Yes, you're dead and you're gone. There should be no more than ten people now. The rest are our juniors. Time flies so fast. Maybe it's our turn when it's our turn."
The old witch doctor was silent for a moment, looked at the old village chief and said softly, "Old He, it's time for us to find a successor. Otherwise, once we suddenly die, there will be no leader in the village in the village, that's not great."
"You're right. Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time. There has never been a suitable candidate before, so I haven't mentioned it to you, but now I think I have found a suitable candidate," the old village chief looked at Ah Hua, who was sitting not far away, and said lightly, "I think Ah Hua is a relatively steady person, and can focus on the overall situation. He is a suitable candidate. What do you think?"
The old witch doctor narrowed his eyes and looked at Ah Hua, then slowly said, "Ah Hua is too conservative, but this is good. As a village chief, you must consider everything carefully and choose the safest method and method to protect the interests of the village and the villagers in the village."
Turning his head, the old witch doctor smiled and said to the old village chief, "I hope Ahua can build the village more prosperous like you, so that our village can develop better."
"Well, I believe Ahua can do this," the old village chief nodded. Then, he poured a glass of wine for the black witch doctor and asked with a smile, "Let me guess, the successor you chose should be Xiao Chen, right?"
The old witch doctor laughed and said, "Old He, your vision is unique! Yes, I do want Xiao Chen to replace me as the new generation of witch doctors in the village, but this possibility is not great. After that, he sighed with regret and shook his head and said, "I once taught Xiao Chen once. He could not stay in our village, or even in the forest of death. He will have more paths in the future, experience more things, and see countless people.
, He does not belong to us in a small place, the entire Lorrain continent is his stage."
After hearing this, the old village chief was silent for a while, nodded and said, "You are right. Xiao Chen is the savior. We shouldn't tie it to this small place in the Forest of Death. I just don't know when he will leave us?"
