Chapter 508: The Origin of Bronze, a Covenant That Cannot Be Rejected

"I understand. For this Royal Court War, our Bronze Tree Tribe will send two hundred totem warriors to the Royal Court, and the chief will lead the team himself." Hui said.

Lu Xingshi sat aside and said nothing.

The two hundred totem warriors are half of the young and strong men of the entire Bronze Tree Tribe. If they were lost outside, it would be a huge blow to the entire tribe.

Ke's face was gloomy, and his mind was full of thoughts: "The royal envoy has arrived, this war..."

Except for the appearance of a person who came from nowhere, everything developed exactly the same as in the previous life, and the war came as expected.

This means that the Bronze Tree Tribe is getting closer to destruction. Although the Bronze Tree Tribe was not destroyed in this Royal Court War, it is closely related to it.

This time, the two hundred totem warriors and Chief Plow who were sent to the royal court all died on the battlefield.

He knew that this time, not only the Silver Court declared war on the Bronze Court where they were, but the Bronze Court also joined forces with the Gold Court in order to destroy the entire Silver Court.

In fact, the Bronze and Gold Royal Courts did it, but they paid a terrible price. A large number of totem warriors died on the battlefield, and most of the tribes were severely damaged.

He wanted to stop it, but he thought that if he stopped it, it would definitely change the course of the future.

When he met the envoy from the royal court, he no longer thought that the extra Lu would have any impact on the future, but rather, he himself would.

After all, he had already seized the qualifications of a witch that should have been his.

He was not worried about his own life. The witch would never leave the tribe. Besides, the totem warriors he sent out were all capable and good fighters, and would not be chosen from those who had just become totem warriors.

"Okay, please set off as soon as possible." After completing his goal, the royal envoy left directly. He not only wanted to notify the Copper Tree Tribe, but also other tribes.

After they left, Lu Xingshi asked, "Do we really need to send so many people?"

In his estimation, fifty people would be enough, but he didn't expect that two hundred people would be sent out directly.

You have to know that one or two totem warriors are added every three to five years. If it weren’t for their long lifespan, it would be unlikely to accumulate so many people.

The fertility rate is not high to begin with, and the ecological environment cannot support so many people.

They are at least two meters tall and are extremely ferocious when eating.

Daily food consumption is a problem for the 500 or so people in the Tongshu tribe. Everyone is in the stage of survival rather than living.

The loss of two hundred people does mean a huge loss of food expenses, but it also means a huge loss of food income, especially since these two hundred people are all young and strong.

"We, the Bronze Tree Tribe, originated from the Bronze King's Court. All of us have bronze blood flowing in our veins."

"If one day we encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, the Bronze King Court will send people to help us." Hui said.

However, Ke was dismissive of this. Just listen to what he said. In the previous life, when the Bronze Tree Tribe was destroyed, there was no movement from the Bronze King's Court.

"And after the war, we can arrange for you... to go to the royal court to learn more profound royal court inheritance." Hui looked at Lu Xingshi. He originally wanted to say "you", but then he thought that Ke was also here, so he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he added the word "you".

He actually didn't think highly of Ke. Apart from possessing the qualifications of a witch, there were many other aspects of the other party that failed to satisfy him.

There was no surprise to Ke. In his previous life, it was indeed the case. Wo was arranged to go to the Bronze King's Court, but unfortunately he came back after a while.

At that time, even with the pearl to nourish his blood, Wo was only at the lower middle level, slightly better than him.

It was for this reason that he could not escape the disaster in the end.

So he had no intention of going to the Bronze King's Court. It would be useless to go there since he couldn't stay there anyway.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he realized that it was just the relationship between the main family and the branch family.

What Hui said is quite right, but the actual situation is probably not that simple.

"The price is too high. There are a lot of witches in the Silver King's Court. If we are not careful..." Lu Xingshi wanted to persuade them again.

In wars, no matter how small, there will be deaths.

"I know, but this is the covenant we made when we left the Bronze Court."

"When the royal court needs help, we will contribute half of our strength." Hui interrupted Lu Xingshi.

He had been a wizard for so many years, how could he not know that without these two hundred totem warriors, their Bronze Tree Tribe would be seriously damaged, but he had no choice but to do so.

Lu Xingshi's expression froze: "If I violate the covenant, will I be punished by the royal court?"

"No, but our totem will lose the source of bronze because of this." Hui said it directly. This is something that is not recorded in the witch's heritage.

"You should know that our bronze tree totem was split from the bronze totem in the Bronze King's Court."

"That is the source of all bronze bloodlines. We cannot afford the price of breaking the covenant." Hui said.

Lu Xingshi's brows furrowed further: "What is the origin of the bronze totem?"

"The bronze totem is the source." "Only the tribe that masters the source can become the royal court." Hui explained.

On the side, Ke was a little uninterested. He didn't care about these so-called secrets. To him, these were too far away.

But I have other ideas in my mind, such as becoming a member of the Bronze King's Court?
He remembered that in his previous life, even after his death, the Bronze Royal Court still stood firm and even destroyed the Golden Royal Court, becoming the final winner.

This may be an opportunity.

You can go to the Bronze King's Court to inquire first, and then you can start after the Bronze Tree Tribe is destroyed.

"Is there any difference between the bronze totem and our bronze tree totem?" Lu Xingshi asked again. He was worried that the bronze tree totem, as a sub-totem split from the bronze totem, would be a castrated version.

"If we talk about the difference, there is definitely one. The totem spells are more complete, and they have many totem spells that we don't have."

"In addition, the blood guidance of the totem warriors is more precise, and under the influence of the bronze totem, the awakened bronze blood will be more intense."

Hui did not hide it, but it is normal to think about it, otherwise how could they be the Bronze Royal Court.

"Then why did we leave the Bronze King's Court?" Lu Xingshi felt something was wrong. With the conditions like these, why would he start out on his own?

The royal court would not take the initiative to drive people away, as they are also short of people.

Therefore, the only possibility is to leave on your own. Whether it is due to exclusion or voluntary is another matter.

"I don't know why our ancestors did this back then." Hui didn't know either.

However, Ke began to think about it. This was indeed a big doubt.

"Could it be that there is some unknown secret hidden in the tribe?"

But he wanted to interrupt and ask, but stopped himself. Lu Xingshi's existence still made him wary. It was not easy to say such things directly. What if the other party knew about it and got there first?

Lu Xingshi glanced at Ke, and it was obvious that the other party wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Hui, do you still remember the venomous flying dragon in the poison pool?" Lu Xingshi said.

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Hui didn't quite understand why Lu Xingshi suddenly asked this question.

"There is a pearl at the bottom of the pond. Can you help me get it? The venomous dragon once wanted to use this pearl to exchange for its life, but I refused."

"With my current physical condition, I can't dive to the bottom of the poisonous pool, so I have to trouble you for help." Lu Xingshi said directly.

Having said this, Ke's face turned pale. He never expected that Lu Xingshi also knew about it, and he was so unethical as to let Hui go to get it.

He really wanted to say that he knew it first and that it was most useful to him. Lu Xingshi was of perfect bloodline, and this pearl was of no use to him at all.

However, Ke couldn't say it, because he had never been to the poison pool, and he couldn't explain why he knew about the pearl and its effects, so he didn't say anything in the end.

"What's wrong with you?" Hui noticed the obvious change in Ke's expression, so she asked with concern.

"Nothing...nothing." Ke answered reluctantly.

He felt regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he should have said it first and asked Hui to help him get it. At most, he could have fooled her. But now that Lu Xingshi had spoken first, it was too late for him to say anything.

"That's good." Hui didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Lu Xingshi: "No problem, I'll get it for you right away."

"You should have told me about this earlier." Hui naturally didn't care about this little favor.

If it was something that Lu Xingshi was able to do, Hui would definitely not agree.

However, this matter was not within Lu Xingshi's ability, so Na Hui was naturally willing to help.

As for what this pearl was used for, Hui didn't really care.

"I was too busy and forgot about it." Lu Xingshi said frankly. He had originally planned to get it himself, but he kept putting it off. He thought that if he put it off any further, the pearl might be of no use to him, so he asked Hui to help.

"That's right, you are indeed busy." Hui did not deny Lu Xingshi's words. Lu Xingshi was much more hardworking than Ke. Then he said, "Next you need to cut down trees yourself to use as firewood for smelting bronze."

"I will go to the poison pond first to get the pearl for you."

Hui first assigned Lu Xingshi the follow-up tasks, and then went to get the reward for Lu Xingshi.

"Wait, Hui, let me go with you." Ke spoke abruptly. He had to find a way to get the pearl. Without the pearl that nourishes his blood, he would live a more miserable life than in his previous life.

It was true that he did not have the qualifications to be a witch in his previous life, but he did have a medium-concentration bronze bloodline, unlike now when he is unable to do anything.

If this continues, I might not be able to escape.

So this is his last chance. As long as he can convince Hui on the way, everything can still turn around.

Hui didn't think much about it and directly agreed to Ke's request and took him to the poison pool.
