I am the one running the game

Chapter 571: An old friend came, but unfortunately he is no longer an old friend
"Long time no see, Ni. I wonder what brings you to our tribe this time?" Hui was very enthusiastic, but gave Ni a sense of alienation.

This was definitely alienation. Since Yi's death, Ni was not the first envoy from the royal court to come. He used both coercion and inducement to get their tribe to hand over Kui.

Not to mention that they don't want to pay, even if they want to pay, they actually can't.

It was hard for Hui to imagine that, in Lu's words, Kui Du had become like that and yet was still alive.

In fact, this is true. If the people in the royal court really knew that Kui had become like this, how could they have sent Ni?

As for why it wasn't Shi who came, it was naturally because Shi was not considered a member of the royal court. He was not in the royal court at all, so he chose Ni.

"I heard that you captured Kui, so the Witch King asked me to come..." Ni spoke very straightforwardly, without beating around the bush, and directly stated his purpose.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hui.

"It's this Kui again. I've said it many times, there is no one named Kui in our tribe, and we have never had any contact with this person. What does Wang Ting want to do?" Hui's tone was full of dissatisfaction and irritability, as if you are going too far.

Hui was not stupid at all. They had no evidence, and as long as Kui was not found, he could completely deny it.

Once he admits it, the next step will not be any kind of persuasion, but a direct massacre of the Bronze Tree Tribe.

Maybe Ni would not do this, but if she could not take Kui away or saw Kui's strange appearance, she would definitely lose control.

Moreover, he no longer trusted the royal court at all. He understood that the tribe could endure hardships together with the royal court, but it was impossible for them to live a life of superiority together.

"Calm down, Hui." Ni didn't expect Hui to have such a big reaction just from her question.

"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? I don't even know what Kui is. You are not the first royal envoy to come and ask questions."

"But he is definitely the one with the best attitude, do you understand what I mean?" Hui continued: "If you don't believe it, you can look for it and investigate it yourself in the tribe."

"Every royal envoy couldn't find the so-called Kui, and they even threatened to destroy the Tongshu tribe. Do you understand?"

"They say Kui is the descendant of the Witch King, but I have never heard of any descendants of the Witch King. Is this true?" Hui's tone became more and more dissatisfied.

"It's true, he also disappeared near the Tongshu Tribe, so..." Ni said embarrassedly.

In fact, there was an even more serious problem that he did not mention, which was that the Witch King instructed him that if Kui was really in the Tongshu Tribe, then the Tongshu Tribe should be destroyed, because they actually dared to imprison the Witch King's descendants, which was a blasphemy.

"I understand. Go check it yourself. If you can find this so-called Kui, I won't say anything even if the entire tribe is destroyed." Hui said with a cold face.

"If Kui is not in your Tongshu tribe, where do you think he is?" Instead of answering, Ni asked back.

"I don't know." Hui didn't plan to continue chatting with her, and then began to deal with the affairs of the tribe on his own.

Seeing this scene, Ni sighed, got up and left.

She wanted to find Lu Xingshi, but he was nowhere to be seen. Only Wo was writing furiously in her tent.

So she set her sights on Wo, went in and introduced herself.

Wo naturally responded to her politely, and then asked the same old question back.

"I don't know about this, but there is definitely no such person in the tribe." The image of Kui appeared in Snail's mind. He was actually quite neat and not bloody at all. Lu Xingshi called this classification.

For example, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys each have their own bottle.

"What about Lu? Where did he go?" Ni felt that the missing Lu might know something.

"Him, what do you want to talk to Lu about?" Of course Wo knew where Lu Xingshi was. He was in a laboratory underground in the tunnel at the back. Only he and Hui knew about it. Even the other tribesmen didn't know.

Normally he would also go and cooperate with Lu Xingshi in some experiments, and use some things he couldn't understand to examine himself. It was said that this was to complete himself. It was strange and he didn't quite understand it. Even if Lu Xingshi tried to teach him, he was confused and finally chose to give up.

"Of course it's because of Kui." Ni did not hide it.

"Then you have found the wrong person. He has been insane since he came back from the royal court. That means he has gone crazy or insane."

"He has been mysterious and has been missing for a long time. Huidu gave up on him and started training me instead." Wo responded to Ni according to the answers that Lu Xingshi and Hui taught him.

This is not false, but there are some mistakes and omissions. For example, it was not only Hui who trained Wo, but also Lu Xingshi.

And Lu Xingshi doesn't need to be trained now, as he is already the pillar of the entire tribe.

These words made Ni's expression solemn, but in the end he didn't say anything.

She felt that it was the royal court's fault. After all, Lu Xingshi had the qualifications to become a great wizard, but now he was abandoned. It was a real loss for the royal court.

The idea is indeed good, but it is not in line with reality.

The Bronze Wizard King is not without an heir, so why did he choose a stranger like Lu Xingshi? The entire Bronze King Court was established by the Bronze Wizard King. If it can be passed on to his son, it will definitely not be passed on to an outsider. Besides, he is not dead yet, so you are so anxious to find an heir for him, which is indeed a taboo.

Then she saw that Wo actually had a blood contract with a blue sky dragon. This was quite strange. She remembered that there was no such ferocious beast in the entire Bronze Territory.

Thinking about it again, the Witch King had told her before that someone first stole the blood-covenant beast and then seriously injured Kui, and then Kui disappeared.

Wo also happened to have a Azure Sky Dragon as a blood-bonded beast, which made her wonder: "Where did you get this Blood-bonded Azure Sky Dragon from?"

"Oh, the offspring of the Blue Sky Dragon King." Wo Zhaoshi answered. This was also taught by Hui and Lu Xingshi. This matter could not be concealed, so it was better to say it directly.

Ni's expression changed slightly. She had heard of the Blue Sky Dragon King, the king of ferocious beasts who devoured offspring to increase his bloodline.

"Doesn't that mean..." Ni was hesitant to speak.

"Yes, the Azure Sky Dragon King should be on his way to the Bronze Territory now."

"But it doesn't matter. The Witch King is here. He will definitely protect us, right?" Snail said with a smile, but with a certain joking in his voice.

Shelter? How is this possible? The last time the Black and White Disaster was solved, it only required the deployment of Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors, but the royal court refused due to lack of manpower.

This time it was the Azure Sky Dragon King who came. The Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors could no longer deal with him, so the Witch King had to do it himself. In Wo's opinion, the royal court would only watch their Bronze Tree Tribe being destroyed by the attack of the Azure Sky Dragon King.

And looking at the stunned look on her face, she knew that the Witch King had not told her about this.

You have to know that he has dealt with every envoy from the royal court who came to investigate, so he naturally told them Qing Ling's identity directly.

This means that the Bronze Wizard King must know, but Nie doesn't.

"I will go back to the royal court immediately and report this matter to the Witch King." Ni stood up and was about to leave. She had never seen the Blue Sky Dragon King, but the ferocious beasts that could be crowned as king were all extraordinary.

"Witch, do you think the Witch King doesn't know? You are not the first royal envoy to come to the Copper Tree Tribe to investigate."

"The royal court never thought about helping our tribe from the beginning to the end. It just wanted to take away the so-called Kui before the arrival of the Blue Sky Dragon King, right?" Snail said directly.

"It's just that the Witch King has been deceived." Ni's body stiffened. She vaguely guessed it, but didn't dare to think about it. Once she guessed the truth, she would know a truth that she couldn't accept.

"I hope so. Have a pleasant journey, Wu Xie." Snail did not stop the other party.

The other party's reason was not an explanation to Wo, but an explanation to himself.

No one cares whether it is true or not.

In fact, Ni was planning to use this as an excuse to stop getting involved in this matter.

She clearly knew that the one with the problem was Wang Tingfang, but as a witch in the Wang Ting, she could neither disobey the orders of the Witch King nor embarrass the Tongshu Tribe. Now that she had a reason, it was good enough to be able to get away.

After the people left, Snail finally smiled.

"I fooled another one. These royal emissaries are like mad dogs, they just keep biting me."

Compared to the experienced Hui and the missing Lu, he, the new witch, naturally became the breakthrough point.

So he is the one who gets unlucky every time, which makes him very distressed. Everyone picks on him, which is really too much.

However, under this kind of high-intensity training, Snail has grown extremely fast. From being a little unfamiliar at the beginning to being very familiar with it now, this growth is truly incredible for him.

It’s a pity that the opportunity is rare. Once you miss it, you will never have it again. It will be difficult to meet it again in the future. After all, the Witch King has only one son... probably.

He then stood up and prepared to look for Lu Xingshi. He had finished today's homework, but he still had to ask Lu Xingshi for tomorrow's homework.

He entered Hui's tent with his homework in his arms, without even raising his head: "Put it aside. I'll correct it for you tonight."

Now, there is only Hui, the witch working in the entire tribe. Lu Xingshi stays in the laboratory and never goes out. Wo is a newbie, so unless he follows him to practice, he is basically learning.

"Okay, then I'll go ask Lu for tomorrow's homework, and then I'll start my subsequent studies..."

Wo responded with a few words, and Hui just lowered her head and said "hmm", and then ignored him. Seeing this, he left Hui's tent and went towards Lu Xingshi's laboratory. The laboratory was enchanted by totem spells and constructed in some unknown way, making it impossible to be discovered.

As soon as I came down, I heard Lu Xingshi's voice.

"Fuck you, you idiot, you actually let someone follow you here."

"I've seen the protagonists follow the villains to the enemy's crystal, but this is the first time I've seen the villains follow the protagonists to the base camp. How come you are the villain protagonist, or am I actually the final boss?" Lu Xingshi's voice was filled with curses.
