Chapter 85 The Hospitable Irene

Chapter 85 The Hospitable Irene

After the battle plan was finalized, Luo Ning led his men around the ring mountain half a circle and arrived in front of the Ziguo tribe's village.

When he got here, he saw two simple watchtowers standing on the hillside southeast of the Ziguo Tribe. There were two figures swaying on them. Their defensive awareness was slightly stronger than that of the Qingzhu Tribe.

According to Walton and Dandy, the tripartite alliance is headed by the Gray Earth Tribe, which is located closest to the Black Collar Tribe.

If the latter wanted to attack the Green Bamboo Tribe or the Purple Fruit Tribe, they would have to pass through the territory of the Gray Earth Tribe. Otherwise, they could only go around in the mountains and forests.

So Roning guessed that the purpose of this watchtower was to monitor the enemies coming from the southeast, that is, the people from the Black Collar Tribe who were coming around.

From this, we can also see that although the people of the Purple Fruit Tribe are smaller, their sense of defense is still relatively strong.

It was a pity that they could never imagine that someone would come from the direction of the Qingzhu tribe. When the two sentinels on the sentry tower saw Luo Ning and his men standing in front of the mountain village gate, they were stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

When the people inside the village saw a group of strangers blocking the door, they all looked panicked. They were scared and ran away in all directions, shouting in panic.

Only brave young people would hide in some place they think is secluded and secretly observe this group of strangers with one eye.

"Don't be alarmed; I am your leader's guest."

Roning acted as a guest and calmed the panicked savages. Then he said to Walton and Dandy, "Okay, now it's your turn to show off."

"You have all been to the Purple Fruit Tribe and know where its leader lives. Now, I hope you can bring her here with my utmost sincerity so that I can have a good talk with her."

Since he wanted to resolve the issue through negotiation, Luo Ning decided to give the other party some respect. He did not choose to take people directly to block the other party's house but chose to wait quietly at the gate of the village.

Wharton and Dandy looked at each other. The lord's promise yesterday was still ringing in their ears clearly. Facing the first task assigned to them by the lord, both of them wanted to complete it cleanly and neatly so as to leave a good impression in the lord's mind.

"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely invite them over!"

They immediately ran towards the depths of the village, looking for Magician Jenny and her husband.

While everyone was waiting, a group of five or six children came running towards this side from the mountain road on the right, laughing. Their giggling made Ro Ning a little dazed as if the sound should not appear in such a place.

He turned his head to look over there, and the people around him also turned their heads to look over there almost at the same time. This scene frightened the group of children so much that they froze in place, and the sounds of their talking and laughing came to an abrupt end.

Luo Ning noticed that the children were not very old, probably around 11 or 12 years old. They all looked timid and evasive, and many of them shrank towards the middle.

Luo Ning couldn't help but look at the girl in the middle.

This is an ordinary little girl wearing simple clothes without any fancy decorations. But it is not difficult to see that the linen used in her clothes is relatively new, not as worn as that of her little friends.

Her appearance was not outstanding, but her eyes were bright. Although she was a little scared at the moment, with her friends snuggling beside her, she still bravely asked: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The tone of her voice gave off the feeling that she treated this place as her home.

Luo Ning smiled slightly, signaling the people around him not to be too hostile. He took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Hello, I am a guest of the Purple Fruit Tribe. I am waiting for the arrival of Magician Jenny here. You can call me Luo Ning."

After hearing this, the nervousness and fear of the little ones immediately eased. The girl who spoke even walked forward with a smile and bowed with somewhat awkward movements.

"Hello, sir, I am Jenny's daughter; you can call me Irene."

She smiled and asked, "What do you want to see my mother for?"

Looking at the innocent little girl, Roning hesitated for a moment. He couldn't bear to tell her that the purpose of his trip was to annex the Ziguo tribe.

He had no choice but to change the subject. "I heard that the Purple Fruit Tribe has a purple fruit that tastes good. I want to come and see it."

Hearing this, Irene laughed out loud, "You came at the wrong time. There are no purple fruits in this season. If you come again in June next year, I will prepare a big bag for you."

At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, by the way, there are 'white nuts' to eat now. Do you want to try some?"

Ginkgo?

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. There are so many fruits in this Purple Fruit Tribe. Sometimes, there are purple fruits; sometimes, there are white fruits. Are there also black fruits and green fruits?

"Okay, that's what you said, and you have to give it to me to taste later." Luo Ning said with a smile.

"This thing is different from ordinary fruits. It needs to be fried in a pan."

Irene introduced enthusiastically: "It would be even more delicious if you could add some oil! Unfortunately, I don't seem to have much oil at home. But don't worry, my mother always told me to be polite to guests, and she will definitely treat you with some!"

"Magician Jenny is such a hospitable person!" Roning echoed.

Just as the two were talking happily, a middle-aged couple came over in a hurry. When they saw Irene talking to Roning, their faces changed drastically.

"Erin, what are you doing!" the woman screamed.

Her clothes were very ordinary, and the fabric was even worse than what Irene was wearing. But her skin and face shape were pretty good, which raised her appearance from a five-point score to a six-point score.

On the contrary, the man with a beard standing next to him looked more haggard, with many traces of time on his face.

Roning glanced at Walton and Dandy behind them and knew that the couple in front of him was the leader of the Purple Fruit Tribe, the magician Jenny and her husband, Knight Horn.

No, after hearing his mother's call, he still didn't realize the danger of Luo Ning's identity, but smiled and said: "Mother, Mr. Luo Ning said that your friend is here as a guest; I plan to take out ginkgo to entertain him in the evening~."

This child...

Jenny's heart sank when he heard this. Halfway through, he saluted to Luo Lin: "Your Excellency the Baron, please forgive Irene's recklessness. She is only a thirteen-year-old child."

Knight Horn, beside him, bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Lord Ronin, Wharton, and Dandy have conveyed your meaning to us. I think we can have better communication."

Although the two said this, their eyes were always on their daughter. They were really afraid that Roning would do something dangerous to hurt Irene.

It was not until this time that Meiluo realized from his parents' unusual words that Luo Ning's identity was unusual. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Roning smiled slightly, patted Irene on the back, and motioned her to go back to her parents.

He smiled and said, "Please rest assured, I come here with the utmost sincerity and will not harm your children or the people here."

Luo Ning said: "Irene is very enthusiastic, lively and brave. The world is so big, and it is a great pity for such a good child to be trapped in the mountains without the opportunity to see the outside world."

He changed the subject: "But now she has such an opportunity. No, you all have such an opportunity. As Irene's parents and the leaders of the Purple Fruit Tribe, I hope you can make the right choice."
