Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 163 The Whereabouts of the Totem Stone

"Lord Roy, we have almost completed the task you assigned to us!"

When Roy came out of the "Portable Small Alchemy Laboratory" again, he found that it was already bright outside.

Ottoli, Grete and others had been waiting at the door for a long time and couldn't wait to come over to report.

"The inventory of supplies and materials, as well as the interrogation of the tribesmen..."

Roy listened for a moment and nodded.

Then he heard Ottoli mention an issue that concerned him most.

"But the Bloodhoof Tribe's 'Totem Stone'...

We didn’t find it!”

"Is it really lost?"

Ottoli said: "It doesn't look like it was obtained by other wizards. I guess it was taken away by Kairon's sons."

"Oh?

Can you guess who it belongs to?"

Although Roy was slightly disappointed, he was not too surprised by the result.

In the melee, it was inevitable that loyal subordinates would seize the opportunity and take away the totem stone.

I was lucky last time, but I may not be so lucky every time.

Ottoli had obviously done some research and answered fluently: "It could be Akaton, the tenth son, or Ajax, the 20th son, and Castor, the 30th son...

These are the more promising children left by Kailong, and their abilities have reached advanced levels or above."

Roy nodded.

"They consider this kind of thing sacred. If it were to be obtained by a centaur from the Bloodhoof Tribe, it would surely fall into the hands of a worthy successor."

"Analyzing the whereabouts of this thing is actually analyzing the succession of the Bloodhoof tribe's kingship and predicting the future location of the king's tent."

"Those who are too weak, or are considered to have bad behavior, are cowardly, or are despicable, and have lost their eligibility for inheritance, can be directly excluded.

Many high-ranking knights died in battle, leaving only the few Ottoli mentioned. It's indeed possible."

Everyone analyzed and discussed.

Roy nodded, basically agreeing.

But he quickly remembered something and added, "You've missed one point. These more primitive tribes have always had a system of inheritance similar to 'the youngest son guarding the stove.'"

All the major clans and small tribes split from the larger tribes, and each used their own titles or clan names as their names.

Those grown-up sons and daughters will first separate and establish their own households, and the youngest son will inherit the remaining property of his father, and even the concubines who have never given birth!"

Before and after arriving here, he looked for some books that recorded local customs and habits.

Otherwise, faced with all these chaotic situations, we would be completely in the dark and would have no idea where to start.

Hearing Roy's words, Ottoli was stunned, and then he slapped his thigh.

"How could I have forgotten about this!

I'll go ask right away!"

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

……

Another half hour passed.

Ottoli came back, his face full of excitement.

"Lord Roy, I've asked clearly!

In addition to those adult sons, there is indeed another young son, Yanis!

Now I finally understand that Chief Kailon has more than 30 wives and concubines, and hundreds of children!
Although Yanis is young, he is the youngest son, so he also has a high ranking! "

"That guy is really fertile!" "He really deserves to be the chief!"

At this time, Andov, Damo and others also came to Roy one after another to discuss other matters.

After hearing Ottoli's report, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

Roy nodded: "These barbarians practice polygamy, and only the strongest and most outstanding ones have the right to reproduce.

Kailong probably had many brothers and sisters, but many of them were killed, injured or disabled in the tribal struggles and the fight for the throne. Relying on his own talent and courage, he gradually stood out and inherited the royal flag.

By the generation of Marcel and Kasside, each of them had their own tribe to rule.

These brothers and sisters would also fight each other, fight for power, and engage in endless chaos.

However, Kailon seems to have the ambition to change this custom and has decided to unify the southern border, conquer the prairie, and then deal with the wizards. "

After saying this, Roy looked around at everyone.

"I want to get that totem stone, but I'm too busy to do it, so I'll leave the task of chasing and investigating to you.

Each of you should bring a wandering soul messenger with you, and inform us when you find someone or encounter deadly danger!
I'll rush to where you are then.

This is an apprentice-level quest, so the difficulty is set to difficult. The basic reward is 1500 magic stones."

The danger level of this mission is actually far higher than exterminating those fishmen on the homeland.

But Roy then broke up Atidiya's elite guards and distributed them among them, greatly reducing the difficulty.

Not long after, everyone set out on their own.

When Yanila learned about this, she was still dissatisfied.

"Why won't you let me help? My Bloodmane tribe can take this opportunity to plunder them and reclaim the territory of our ancestors!"

After hearing this, Roy was speechless for a moment.

How come you, a native chief, think the same thing as the wizards!
However, the Blood Mane and Blood Hoof tribes had conflicts hundreds of years ago.

The ancestors they each worship are all descendants of Emperor Urun, and their ancestors have lived together on the same land for generations.

However, due to the harsh natural conditions, they are often in a state of mutual competition.

The difference can be seen from the fact that the Bloodhoof Tribe can mobilize more than 100,000 troops and command millions of people.

The tribe directly commanded by Yanila was only a small tribe of a few hundred people.

She is now a great knight and has joined the wizard. Her chance to counterattack and surpass others has come!
Perhaps it was because of this investigation that her teacher defined her as an important chess piece in order to defeat barbarians with barbarians.

With the motivation to expand her own tribe, she will definitely spare no effort in suppressing the Bloodhoof Tribe and there is no need to urge her.

Roy thought for a moment and said to her, "Your tribe will stay at the royal tent and take over Kailon's direct territory.

I plan to ask the teacher to seal this place to you."

"Really?" Yanila's anger immediately turned into joy.

"Of course it's true, but you have to help me too. I plan to send Celine to ride on you to chase after one of the remnants, and it's most likely the Young Yanis tribe.

Several other wizards may also send their subordinates to fight for it, so we must act quickly and strike first!"

"I promise to finish it quickly!"

Yanni kicked up his feet, pulled Celine along and ran away, raising a cloud of dust.

Roy returned to the alchemy room and continued to take stock of his previous gains, as well as ponder the issues of mount and mobility.

However, he did not work in isolation, but used the communication crystal to contact his teacher.

"Do you have any flying mounts or other similar magical creatures?

Otherwise, an alchemical puppet or similar crafting blueprint will also work.

I want to use this harvest to improve my mobility and make it easier to travel around."
