The dark clouds dissipated and the sun shone on the dock ground again.

At this time, Sheela, accompanied by Abbas, had left the dock with her group of entourages, but there were still traces of the fire on the ground of the dock, or in other words, the pile should have been barrels.

The turbid and translucent gelatinous substance of salted fish. After the fire, most of the pungent fishy smell on the pier has disappeared. Although the smell of salted fish still remains, this level of smell is obviously more normal.

.

The Jackals ordered the human workers hired to work with them to clean up the debris on the dock. It is said that these gelatinous substances will be taken out of the city to find a place to bury. Although they have been told that these things have lost any threat and are just some garbage.

, but people don’t know why this group of jackals are still very afraid of these colloidal substances, and they don’t even dare to approach them at will. After all, when these things came to life just now, the humans around the dock basically ran away, far away.

Those around could not clearly see the deformed monster struggling in the eye-catching black and purple fire, so people were more curious about what had just happened inside Xiake Port.

Although it seems quite irrational to ask Jackals for information, in fact, not all Jackals in the city are rude and savage "pirates". At least there are many ordinary people who are thin and like to get into crowds.

Type. So for the various intelligence spies who have missed the opportunity, they can generally get some clues by simply finding an opportunity to go to a pub or restaurant and inviting these jackals to spend money.

At the same time, Abbas also returned to the previous guest room with Sheila and sat down again. Just like when they first arrived, the two of them remained silent before entering, and after entering, they each took off their clothes.

"Shackles" and after sitting down, they started chatting in the same relaxed tone as before.

"What are those things?" Abbas casually took one of the biltong strips from the full plate in front of the table, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"They are probably undead creatures, or in human terms, they should be undead monsters called 'living corpses'." Sheila calmly imitated Abbas and picked up a bag.

She chewed the biltong slowly. Unfortunately, her bite strength was not as strong as that of a strong man like Abbas, so after biting for a while, she found that she couldn't bite it at all, so she threw it aside in embarrassment.

Then he quietly raised his arms and tried to cover his mouth with his sleeves, and continued: "It doesn't look like a natural creation of the dead, but more like a mixture of some ancient witchcraft and necromancy."

Abbas couldn't help but smile when he saw Silla's slightly shy look. Then he went to a nearby cabinet and dug out a pack of other jerky, put it on a golden plate and delivered it to Silla. These jerkies were bigger than

The ones Abbas chewed were obviously much softer, and the ones Abbas chewed were obviously the "hometown delicacies" of the Gnoll tribe, while the ones in front of Sheela were indeed seasoned with various spices to give them local characteristics.

In addition, the reason why Abbas continues to chew dried meat after meals is not because he is not full, but just a habit. Whenever Abbas encounters any troublesome problems or is frustrated in something,

Afterwards, I always get used to chewing some dried meat from the corner of my mouth to soothe my mood.

The almost tasteless air-dried meat jerky from my hometown is as hard as a stone. Even because of the poor production process, these dried meats are still mixed with a lot of blood, making them hard and hard to eat.

Fishy. In the past, this kind of dried meat was indeed a life-saving food for the Gnoll tribe, but now, it seems that apart from filling their stomachs and grinding their teeth, few Gnolls care about the existence of this "traditional delicacy".

.

The behavior of Abbas who always likes to chew dried meat from time to time is just a habit, because the force generated by his jaw when chewing dried meat will make him feel a pleasure similar to that of fighting, plus the mixture in his mouth

The bloody stimulation brought by the traces of blood juice squeezed from the dried meat with saliva also made Abbas feel very refreshing.

"Before I came, the god Sunu only mentioned that there might be something behind the Razik murlocs controlling them, and it should have been for some time. However, the aura of the undead in the depths of the sea has become stronger and stronger recently.

That's why the god Sonu noticed it at this time." Sheila muttered in frustration while chewing the soft dried meat: "What a pity... This feeling should taste very good..."

"That is... sweet. It is said to be pickled with honey, so it tastes very sweet." Abbas changed his somewhat depressed mood and quickly changed the subject and continued to ask: "So Razik

Are there undead beings behind the fish-men?"

"I don't know, it just smells like the undead. After all, the sea is very big, so it's hard to tell what's going on there." Sheila seemed to be very fond of these dried meats. Even if she couldn't taste them, she liked the softness very much.

The feeling of chewing, so she kept holding the dried meat with both hands and stuffing it into her mouth while still saying with unfinished content: "The Razik fishmen must have suffered a disaster. Those things on the dock just now should be caused by them, and they must have done it."

This is also intentional. I have seen similar murloc witchcraft in other places a long time ago. It is probably that the unhatched fish eggs are contaminated with some witchcraft, but if they are eaten, they will become immortal.

monsters for the wizard to drive."

"Is it fish eggs? Can fish eggs hatch into fish-men?" Abbas asked while biting the dried meat.

"Of course not, that's why I said it's a product mixed with necromancy spells. From the smell of rotten corpses emanating from some monsters, we can definitely conclude that those things are fish-men. They probably use fish-men instead of fish eggs.

The product of transforming the eggs of the Razik fish-men. Although I don’t know what the purpose of the Razik fish-men is, I guess this time is just a test. Even if you go to them to settle accounts, you won’t get any good results, so the most suitable one at the moment

The way to do this is to pretend that nothing happened." After Siela finished eating the last piece of honey-soaked dried meat on the plate, she licked her sticky lips and palms with her tongue, and continued: "I suggest you follow us again.

Please contact the murlocs and ask for another transaction. This time I will give them some special gifts in return. As for the transaction, it’s up to you. At least the people who go to the transaction must pretend that nothing happened.

.”

"That's no problem, but the crew needs to be changed..." Abbas quickly brought a basin of water and wet wipes from elsewhere and handed them to Sheela and asked: "And, what are you going to do?

"

"It's nothing, just give them some small surprises in return." Sheila lazily stretched her head and asked Abbas to wipe her mouth and then said: "It's not our style of jackals to not respond to a loss. Don't worry.

Just like their methods, they are all harmless things."

Harmless? Abbas almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

Perhaps many people in the clan don't know the nature of the ancestor Sheila. Even though she is usually so cold and aloof, she is probably the most vindictive and petty of all the jackals Abbas has ever seen.

A guy.

In the interpersonal relationships of jackals, debts and grudges are not as important as human beings. In fact, it was mainly because jackals were very ignorant and poor in the past, so there were almost no grudges in this area, and even if they were

Yes, it was just that the amount of debt was negligible. After all, there was no such thing as "currency" among the jackals at that time, so what they owed was mostly prey or a meal.

After all, Sheila is an "old witch" who has lived for nearly a thousand years. Due to her status during her lifetime, her status was different from that of ordinary jackals, so that she always had more supplies around her than other people.

Although he is a direct descendant of Sheela, Abbas's life was very barren when he was a child, mainly because he lost his parents and siblings not long after he was born. Therefore, Abbas also experienced many times when he was young.

Death threats from hunger and cold.

At that time, Silla had not "left", but she was already very old and weak at that time. If it hadn't happened later, Silla might not have been able to survive the winter of that year. The same sharp teeth at that time

The Gnoll tribe has also been in extreme decline. The population of the entire tribe is less than a hundred Gnolls. Moreover, because other races in the hilly areas are too active and the border clan of Iles are also expanding their pastures, this has led to the sharp-toothed Gnolls.

This insignificant little tribe simply cannot survive. For the sake of the continuation of the tribe, the shamans decided to give it a try and try the ancient "God Summoning Ceremony" to find a protector for the Sharp-toothed Gnoll tribe.

gods.

Of course, the result is as it is now. The ceremony was a success. Not only did the Sharptooth Gnoll tribe survive, but it also grew into the largest tribe in the hilly area. It not only effectively deterred the border clans of Iles, but also absorbed many other tribes.

A group of monsters entered the tribe.

However, during this period of time, Sheila still appeared next to the god as a soul, and the "grievance" between Abbas and Sheila was really related at this time. Because after Sheila's sacrifice, she was once rich

The "family property" was all divided up by the heirs, and Abbas, who was still young at the time, was barely considered one of the heirs, so he also received a piece of the burden. I don't know how many years he was left in the corner by Sheila.

...dried meat.

If the hardness of the dried meat that Abbas ate before was comparable to a stone, then this package of dried meat is almost as hard as golden fox steel. It is probably because of this that this package of garbage that no one wants is given to the weak.

Abbas, anyway, the meaning is enough. Whether this little guy can survive on this bag of dried meat is left to fate. This cannot be said to be because Abbas's "relatives" are cruel, the main thing is

Everyone doesn't know how long they can live, so Abbas's sharing of this little food can be regarded as extra care for their relatives. In addition to this package of meat, Abbas also grabbed a tattered blanket. It is said that

It was used to cover Sheila's body after her death, so other jackals thought it was a bit unlucky, so they didn't bother to compete with Abbas.

In short, Abbas managed to survive that difficult winter with a tattered blanket and a bag of steel jerky. As a result, in the summer of the next year, the souls of Sheela and other shamans were restored by the gods.

Unlike other shamans who are completely puppets, the first thing Sheela, who has self-awareness and memory, returns to is to take back the "stolen inheritance" from her relatives, whether it is pots, pans, tents and fur coats.

, even the livestock fodder and garbage decorations were taken back from relatives, and even the food that was eaten would be compensated by relatives.

In short, Sheela almost turned the tribe upside down, and finally encountered a problem when it came to Abbas. Because at that time, although Abbas barely survived, he still did not have the ability to hunt alone. Although the tattered blanket

It can be recycled, but the dried meat eaten by Abbas cannot be squeezed out of it.

Not to mention how painful it was for Abbas to survive by frantically chewing the pieces of meat as hard as steel. At that time, Sheila didn't think Abbas could live much longer, after all, he was old.

Too young and too weak. At that time, Abbas was lying in his hay nest like a dead dog, looking feebly at Sheila, who was above him. It was hard to tell what he was thinking in his mind at that time.

At least this is a question that Sheila still wants to know.

Anyway, I don’t know what the reason was in the end. When Sheila was recycling the torn blanket, Abbas’s face was so weird that she also recycled it. From then on, Abbas also gradually grew up to what he is today under Sheila’s “care”.

The glorious status of this tribal warrior...and the stature.

But having said that, Sheela started to settle accounts with Abbas on the day he won the title of "Warrior", whether it was the dried meat he ate back then or the food and water he had raised over the years.

They were all recorded by Sheela, so that although Abbas was famous outside, he was always penniless at home due to "debts". Even now, Abbas still has not been able to repay them.

It owes all debts to Sheela.

For Abbas, Sheela, the ancestor, does have the brilliance of "maternal nature", but privately, she is really too preoccupied, which led to Abbas always paying off the debt later.

He would inexplicably incur a lot of new debts. As a result, Abbas is now too lazy to believe in the unrealistic idea of ​​"paying off his debts and regaining his freedom."

Faced with such a Sheila, she actually said that she wanted to give the Razik fish-men a "harmless reply"? It doesn't matter what others think, anyway, Abbas just thinks that it would rather believe that the sun is black than

I believe that Sheila would be so cheerful and generous. In short, she thought that the Razik fish man seemed to be in bad luck.

"Right? Why didn't I see the ship you were talking about at the dock just now?" Silla asked casually after wiping her mouth.

"Which ship?" Abbas didn't respond for a moment.

"It's the one you said you built yourself, the first sea-going ship designed and built by us jackals ourselves." Sheila leaned over and lay on the big soft cushion and said lazily: "That's Haru.

It seems that the ship is called Fang?"

"Oh, that ship...that ship..." Abbas was about to answer Sheila's question, but then he suddenly reacted and looked in the direction of the door with a blank look on his face.

Because Abbas had just remembered that when he led the crowd to the dock in a hurry, he had focused all his attention on the three cargo ships. As for the Fang, he did not notice it. At the same time, he also

I vaguely remember seeing only Hodor but not Haru on the dock.

Abbas scratched his chin in confusion, then walked out the door and asked the other guards, and then returned to the room even more uneasy.
To be continued...
