Chapter 3 ：Luoying

Brutality? Patriarch? I don't know if I've lost my intelligence from being in a hospital bed for too long, but anyway, I've been analysing these two words for half a day and I can't figure out what it means.

 Which patriarch is it? Clan Chief Sark, I think I heard it right. The old patriarch used to be, wasn't he a nice guy? The herdsmen were very supportive of him, how can he be considered brutal.

 Then, could it be that, surprisingly, this patriarch is referring to me?

 Tang Men saw me dazed, busy over to push me, I brushed my head and jumped out two feet away, I can't let them see my patriarch's badge!

 Looking at the five people's strange eyes, I coughed, "Everyone, you're not kidding, as far as I know, that patriarch is very wise and wise, highly respected, kind and compassionate, oh, he's also loved by the herders."

 Tang Men said doubtfully, "It can't be, this is a system quest, how could there be a mistake."

 I added, "It might be an NPC shaking you guys, besides, you guys are only ... well, you're all only level 40 or so, how could you possibly kill him? He has more than 20 fierce generals over level 40 under his command, as well as level 65 guards, and, well, a lot of organs for protection! Not long ago, a level 56 top player was killed by him!"

 Tang Men eeped, "No way, when that 'Wandering Herder' commissioned us, the system hinted that it was a D-ranked quest."

 I'll be damned, so the herdsman I pissed off has turned into a vagabond, ah, it's a pity. However, they're too discerning, right, someone as strong as me is a D-ranked quest!

 Tang Men gave a wink to his friends behind him, "Let's find someone else to ask."

 It seems like they could already tell that something was wrong with me. I sighed, and simply, brought my clan leader badge in front of the five, "The person you are looking for is me, look at me, do I look like I'm brutal?"

 The five men were dumbfounded by my badge, and I watched their expressions with satisfaction before bringing the lord's badge over again, "Look closely, I'm the lord of this town, and if you make a move on me, the town's teleportation array will instantly wipe you out!"

 The large warrior suddenly grunted, "If you didn't threaten us, we'd really believe it. Sure is a brutal guy, I'm not afraid of you, come, watch my 'Titan' power!"

 I darted past the warrior's giant sword and jumped into the resurrection point, I wasn't afraid of him killing me, I was afraid of him being killed by the magic pillar.

 Tom bellowed and ran towards us. I drank him down, "Get back and do your job!"

 All five players drew their weapons and surrounded me, I smiled, and took out the "Righteous Soldier" medal: "Look at this, it's only available with a righteousness value of 100, it proves that I'm a good person, right?"

 Tang Men eeped and looked down at his chest, so he had one too. Awesome, I wonder how many wanted criminals he killed to get this medal. Wells never appeared in the game again, most of the wanted criminal quests but they could only get one or two points of justice.

 The five people suddenly shouted together, ''How did the quest change? It became 'Investigate the truth about the Sark patriarch'?"

 I swooned, the mainframe is really powerful, my every move is used by it to judge and change the mission at any time, this is a game intelligence that I've never even heard of.

 Finally letting out a long breath, I then briefly told them about how I obtained the Sark Patriarch and the subsequent exasperation with the herdsman, and called the only other herdsman in town to prove it. However, the mission hadn't changed, and it seemed that it was still necessary to take them on a trip to the Sark.

 Originally, I had long wanted to move to the Sark tribe, only the town had been busy, coupled with financial constraints, going to the Sark tribe could not do much, so I procrastinated.

 Now not only do I need to go back to make good relations and prove my innocence, the king's messenger to collect the horses is coming soon, so I must go there once.

 Now that the 2500 gold coins I got from the wanted quest had been spent, and the town's finances weren't generous, I could only spare more than 200 gold coins, go to the shop I own to stock up on building materials, take some gifts and stone eagles with me, and send a message to Leon and the others, so I took Tangmen and the others towards the Sark clan.

 After travelling for a few hours, I reached my destination, but the original tents were all gone, and the horses and sheep were not there, I was frozen.

 After searching around for a long time, we finally found the herders' tracks from some wheel tracks and found the new tent group a few dozen miles away.

 The herders did not have a happy look on their faces when they saw us, and when I looked again, only one of the herders who had left me before was missing, and the rest were still in the clan.

 I dismounted and turned towards the herders, "Why did you move away?"

 A herdsman coldly said, "All of us on the grassland are migrating for long years, when the original grass is finished, we move to a place where there is water and grass."

 I just remembered that there was such a thing, my heart was even more apologetic, I am really too bad as a patriarch, if the herders relied on me, they would have starved to death by now.

 It's common for herders to migrate, it seems that it's not too realistic for me to want to build some facilities for the herders.

 Tang Men also dismounted and asked the herders about me, I pricked up my ears, but the herders might still have some regard for me as the patriarch, so they spoke very quietly and didn't seem to say anything bad about me.

 Suddenly I heard a rush of hoofbeats, and several steeds galloped back from the field.

 The horse people jumped down, the foremost, is a face slightly dark young man, I almost did not recognise, stayed for a moment before remembering, is the old patriarch's son Luo Ying.

 Luo Ying when I left, is twelve or thirteen years old, did not expect half a month to see, taller so much, I do not know how these NPCs grow.

 Luo Ying walked towards me in big strides, a heroic spirit came out, not only very much the old patriarch's temperament, but also more a kind of competence and toughness, really not like a child of more than ten years old.

 I smiled and said, "Luo Ying, you've grown up, how's your recent martial arts practice going?"

 Luo Ying raised his head and looked at me, "Now that I am level 40, I challenge you! I want to take back the clan head position that belongs to me!"

 I froze, and only reacted after a while, yes, this clan leader position, according to the custom, belongs to the clan leader's son, I myself had thought of handing over the Shepherd's God Set to Luo Ying in the beginning, only to see that he was still young, so I took up the position myself.

 But now, is it really necessary to hand it over to Luo Ying?

 I'm starting to get a headache, whether morally, in terms of my own performance, or in terms of my own energy, I should give up the patriarch position, but ...

 Now that the king has given me the task of paying a tribute of a thousand horses a month, if I don't hand it over, I can hardly imagine what the consequences will be. Friendship Town will certainly not be able to keep it, and the Sarks will most likely be rounded up as well.

 If it was a few days ago, without building those new facilities and opening a shop, I could have negotiated with the Sarks to buy horses with money or an equivalent amount every month, but now my financial resources simply don't allow it.

 Besides, the Sarks are used to being free, so what use is money to them, and what do they have that they need?

 Tang Men and the others returned to me at this time, "Man, the clan is good to you, but the system still hasn't prompted this quest to be completed, what's going on?"

 I smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid, this quest won't be finished until I'm overthrown, you guys wait, it might be over soon."

 The herdsmen, including Luo Ying's mother, didn't make a sound, all their gazes were gathered on Luo Ying and I, their silence already showed their support for Luo Ying.

 I sighed in my heart, why didn't I come earlier to ease the relationship with the herders, it's hard to undo it now.

 I could have told the herders that I had come back this time specifically to improve their lives. However, that kind of language is like the promises made by the President of the United States to canvass for votes; no matter how nicely it is said, others will think that there is a purpose behind it.

 Besides, if I really want to improve the lives of the herdsmen, I can help them just as well by letting Luoying be the patriarch ...

 After all is said and done, I'm still trying to use the herders' horses to keep my town.

 There is no point in saying anything, only one battle to solve, and this battle, but also absolutely can not lose.

 Scouted Luoying, "Level 40, Grassland Mage, Grassland Archer, Grassland Warrior Tri-Professional, HP600..."

 Scary, met with the same BT as me, and the level is also one level higher than me, 40 and 39 difference is not a little bit. Luo Ying must have practised very hard, I remember last time I left, he was only level 26 ah, with his bronze level equipment, to be able to practise to this level, not easy ah.

 I slowly took off the Shepherd God suit, took off the clan leader badge, felt out the long whip representing the clan leader's identity from my arms, and handed it over to Luo Ying's mother's hands, "The victor, can take them."

 The moment I handed over the Shepherd's God Set, I felt the attachment of the Shepherd's God Set to me, and I also had the hard feeling of parting with my best friend. Yes, for the sake of the Pastoral God Set, I can't lose either, although it's selfish, I really can't give up the set back to Luo Ying ...

 I am a selfish person, the only difference is perhaps just that I will try my best to find a way to compensate the herdsmen and will double it.

 Rummaging through his pockets, he put on his spare equipment, all of which were gold, except for the Eye of the Vulcan and the Necklace of Life. I have to mention the Necklace of Life here, this kind of HP-adding equipment is very expensive, this +20% HP silver artefact of mine, the market price is surprisingly comparable to a platinum-grade normal equipment.

 Luo Ying also sorted out his equipment, and suddenly whistled, and with a long cry in the sky, a huge golden eagle descended.

 I put out my Detection Technique, "'Divine Eagle', level 40, Attack cum Mount type, BOSS class 5th rank pet, HP 2000 ..."

 Wait, did I read that right, HP2000!!! not 200!!!!

 Although the various attributes of a BOSS would be greatly reduced after it became a player's pet, especially the HP, which was usually only a few tenths of a percent, but still, it was too terrifying ah!

 No wonder, in the past, Wells that phoenix, how to beat can not die, afraid of nearly 10,000 blood it.

 Luckily, BOSS favourites are few and far between, according to Jimmy's authoritative news from the forums, like me to take the eggs from the BOSS stomach of the lucky ones, no more than two hundred. The ones like Wells who did the quest to get the BOSS pet, no more than fifty, and the innate system reward BOSS pet, at most twenty. This is still a very small percentage among the billions of players.

 Looking at this divine sculpture, I regretted, why should I take off the shepherd god suit to show fairness, now my own abilities have dropped so much all of a sudden, playing Luo Ying is already not sure, and then add an offensive pet, I'm not a dead man?

 Hey, look at this divine eagle level, I'm afraid it is Luo Ying raised from childhood, as early as I know he has this kind of powerful things can be self-protection, I was directly to the patriarch and pastoral God set to him not on it, which has today this thing!

 Now the biggest advantage is that the blood pills on my body are more advanced than Luo Ying's. In fact, Luo Ying doesn't have any blood pills at all, and can only rely on the herdsman's natural high physique to return blood.

 I opened my mouth and said, "Luo Ying, we are only deciding the position of the clan head this time, we don't need to fight to the death, let's make it a rule, whoever's blood drops below 150 first, whoever admits defeat!"

 Luo Ying said, "That's fine, this is also the usual method of our clan's martial arts competitions, but 150 is too high, set it at 100!"

 Suddenly, the big "Titan" shouted, "Little brother, aren't you going to prepare medicine? Bring more."

 Luo Ying frowned: "Medicine? What medicine? I'm not sick."

 The Titan let out an ah and opened his eyes wide, "No way! Medicine is for restoring blood and spells, come on, I'll lend you the medicine I brought!"

 I fainted, big man what are you doing messing around with nothing, can't you see that people have divine sculptures, if you give him medicine again, how else can I fight?

 Luo Ying shook his head, "We Sarks never use such things!"

 Titan gave an oh, turned his head, "This lord, or the clan leader? You don't use medicine either oh, we'll be on the sidelines as notaries with our scrying techniques!"

 Hey, our family business, what are you getting involved in ah. This big guy, just now didn't talk that much ah, why did he get excited once he saw people fighting?

 Still, I only nodded my head, if I don't need it, then I'm going to leave my MP behind to use the Healing Technique. So, I switched to the Golden Sword and Golden Shield, summoned the Xuan Turtle, and began to slowly enter the state of combining techniques with my heart.
