Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The group of people followed the Akenshi people to the oasis. Along the way, Hewlett was communicating with their leader in a special language.
“They seem to have encountered some trouble.”
Hewlett returned with a frown and said to everyone, “Recently, the Akenshi Tribe often has people missing. They suspect that it was an adventurer passing by who did this, which is why they are so hostile to us.”
“It’s impossible to get the Akenshi Tribe’s hospitality today, but they are willing to give us some dry food and water.”
Many mercenaries looked regretful.
The Akenshi people were famous for their fine wine. Other than the good wine of the dwarves, the Akenshi People’s wine was the most delicious.
There were also passionate and beautiful Akenshi girls who would often let the adventurers passing by have a wonderful night.
The members of the Sword and Rose mercenary group stopped outside a small tribe near the oasis.
Some Akenshi people left in a hurry, carrying roasted magical beast meat and several large sacks of water.
Of course, Hewlett also gave them some gold coins to make a deal.
At night, the extinguished bonfire flickered with faint sparks, and all the mercenaries fell into a deep sleep.
A thin figure quietly got up and blended into the night. Without making any sound, he quickly sped off into the distance.
When he reached a certain place, the figure stopped. There was already another person waiting for him there.
“My army is about to take shape. We will take action tomorrow.”
“No! The newly joined mage is very powerful. We should wait for the undead swamp to find an opportunity!”
The crow’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
“Saint-level?”
“No, not saint-level, but at least level eight, or even level nine.”
“Hehe, no one below level nine can compete with me, even if I haven’t recovered 30% of my strength yet.”
“But.”
“No buts. If I take back that thing, even if it’s a saint-level, it will become a skeleton under my feet!”
The figure was silent for a moment, and then he left as quietly as he came.
The next day, the people of the Sword and Rose mercenary group had ugly expressions as they looked at the Akenshi tribesmen who surrounded them.
Each of them carried a spear and a long knife, and their attitude was even worse than yesterday.
“Didn’t they say that they had already explained it? What do they mean by this?”
Hewlett shook his head and went forward to negotiate. After he returned, he said helplessly, “The Akenshi tribe’s great elder invited us over.”
“Invited?!”
The dark elf Darlene slightly raised her eyebrows. The longbow in her hand did not relax in the slightest.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Joelson, as if at this moment, he was the leader of the team.
Jolson ignited a flame with one hand.
But with this action, the surrounding Akenshi people instantly spread out in a large circle, their faces filled with displeasure and fear.
Yesterday, Jolson’s terrifying power had already left an indelible impression in their hearts.
“I can bring you out.”
Jolson said calmly, but the others could hear a hint of coldness in his words.
“Forget it, forget it.”
Hewlett quickly shook his head.
“First Elder Akenshi is a very powerful person. In their territory, it’s best not to anger the other party.”
The mercenaries were “escorted” into the tribe by Akenshi people.
In the tribe, every Akenshi person looked hurried, with indescribable nervousness and fear on their faces.
“Looks like they really encountered something.”
The group entered a small hut made of wood and mud and waited for a while.
A few Akenshi walked in with large strides.
The person in front was an exceptionally tall man. He exuded a wild aura and was slightly stronger than Hewlett.
“WUUUUUUU!”
“The great elder wants to see us.”
Hewlett translated to everyone in a low voice.
A few minutes later, everyone finally saw the great elder Akenshi.
An old man who was as thin as a tree branch and had deep sunken eyes.
The strong Akenshi people greeted the thin old man.
The old man seemed to have woken up from a long sleep. He raised his head slightly, and his empty eyes swept over everyone in the mercenary group.
Being stared at by those eyes without any eyeballs, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The thin old man’s final gaze stopped on Joelson, and then he opened his mouth to say something.
Hewlett’s expression was unsightly, he said to everyone, “Grand Elder Akenshi said that there’s a powerful evil spirit occupying the Akenshi tribe. It’s looking for something, and it’s abducting Akenshi’s tribesmen. Only we can help Akenshi tide over this disaster.”
“Is he joking?”
Someone could not help but cry out, “An evil spirit that has left the entire Akenshi tribe helpless, how can we deal with it with just the strength of a few of us? is he forcing us to stay to help them fight?”
Hewlett sighed, “I think so too.”
Hewlett turned his head and communicated with the old man in the Akenshi tribe language.
His expression became more and more strange as he kept looking back at Joelson.
The old man’s hollow eye sockets had been in Joelson’s direction since the beginning.
The others couldn’t wait to ask, “Leader, what did the first elder say?”
Hewlett raised his head and said, “The first elder said that this disaster was brought about by us. For this, he even paid the price of two eyes.”
“We brought them? What does that mean?!”
Everyone’s faces were blank.
Hewlett turned his gaze to Joelson and said in a low voice, “He said that the person who can save Akenshi is among us.”
Everyone noticed Hewlett’s gaze and said in surprise, “Joelson?!”
“Yes, Grand Elder Akenshi has the mysterious power to foresee fate. He has the status of a prophet in the Akenshi tribe. Moreover,”
Hewlett paused for a moment and his expression became strange. He looked at Joelson in disbelief.
“First elder Akenshi said that he tried to foresee Joelson’s fate, but he blinded his eyes because of it.”
“What?!”
Everyone could not help but shout. They looked at Joelson in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
“The Sun, the Moon, and the stars have fallen. The dragon wings that fill the sky cover the sky. Thunder and flames interweave. Standing on a mountain of bones that flows with the blood of God, holding light and darkness in one hand, the world has fallen behind.”
Hewlett slowly said something and then said, “This is what grand elder Akenshi said. It probably means this.”
Everyone looked at Joelson in a daze. They did not know what words to use to express the shock in their hearts.
What did this mean?
What was Joelson’s identity?!
In an instant, the image of Joelson in their hearts became even more mysterious.
“Hehe, do you really believe this old man’s words? He looks just like an ordinary old man, and he’s about to die.”
Alvin suddenly broke the silence and said mockingly.
