Chapter 353: Centaur Chief

This is a young man, he just glanced outside when he passed the window, and did not stop, the whole process took less than a second.
However, in this second, he was caught by Rennes.
Even though Rennes was a few hundred meters away from the airship, the eyes of the soul could see clearly, and even went straight into the soul of the opponent, instantly seeing through the details.
"Milton?"
Ren was shocked, and he didn't expect to meet someone here who thought he would have died long ago.
Milton was his teammate in the Longshand Demon Slayer, the wizard of unknown origin. Later, the Cthulhu followers of Shadow Blade bombed the underground fortress of the dwarves, and the night that triggered the sinking of the Silver Star area, the slayer team also joined the battle. Milton has since disappeared and is considered to have been killed.
His lover, Albena, was overwhelmed, and his teammates also had suspicions with Rennes, and finally quit the slayer team.
Almost two years later, the appearance of the person on the airship was only 60 to 70% similar to Milton, and even acquaintances might not recognize him.
But Renne was 100% sure that he was Milton.
One can change the external appearance, but cannot change the internal soul characteristics.
When Milton was in Longshande, he claimed to be a Level 2 Wizard of All Souls, but he was actually Level 3, and now he has been upgraded to Level 5, which can be described as leaps and bounds.
Five-level wizards who are less than 30 years old are definitely among the geniuses. How can they be willing to be a slayer?
Rennes had long suspected that Milton had a problem, but there was no evidence.
"He appeared on the airship in Pallas Floating City. Is it Pallas?"
"Milton claimed to be a graduate of Blueworth College, but he ran to Longshand not far away, and then disappeared strangely. He stayed at Longshand for more than a year, and then quietly left, just in time with Pallas The visiting wizards of Floating City are almost..."
Lane can almost believe that Milton is Pallas's wizard.
There are many doubts hidden behind the series of incidents in Longshande the year before last. The Duke of Redstone also pretended to be his own student and visited in person in the Silver Star Academy. There must be an ulterior motive.
He propped up his ears, and the Voice of Everything listened carefully to the sound on the airship.
However, apart from the conversations of a few airship pilots, no words from the wizards were heard. Apparently, a soundproof force field was installed in their room.
At this time, Emilys noticed Ren's abnormality, looked at the airship, and asked in a low voice: "Ren, what's the matter?"
"When you see Nahaqi, ask him about the airship by the way, don't appear to be too concerned," Ren said.
Emily nodded slightly, "Okay."
The group rode the Phantom horse to the fence outside the big tent, and was blocked by several centaur fighters. Amelis showed a token and said in Centaur language: "I want to see Chief Nahaqi."
The centaur warrior did not dare to neglect, this token represents the most noble guest of the tribe, and its status is no less than the high priest of the tribe.
He hurriedly said respectfully: "Please follow me."
The two of them dismounted two dragons and entered the huge circular tent. The internal space is thousands of square meters. In the middle is a hall for praying to the hunting god. Dozens of independent rooms surround the hall as the residences of the chiefs and priests. .
In a spacious and bright tent, the floor is covered with thick blankets, the open fires in the corner emit heat, and the fur and heads of various prey are hung on all sides. The layout is simple but majestic.
Two high-ranking centaur fighters stood at the door.
Entering the tent, an extremely tall figure greeted him.
Renn had never seen a centaur so tall. He stood up straight. It was a full two and a half meters from the head to the ground, which was taller than an extreme fighter.
The muscles of his naked upper body grow laterally, and the power contained in it seems to explode, as if cast from rock; the horse body of the lower body is extremely strong, with four hooves like a basin, and two arms are thick through the thighs of adults, although not With a weapon in hand, there is still a strong breath coming to his face.
This centaur also has a unique appearance, with long cheeks, high forehead and wide nose, deep eye sockets, thick short beards on the chin and side face, and long black hair on the back of the head forming a big braid, which is wrapped around the neck. A few laps, there is a rough and unique temperament.
His eyes are full of wildness, but they also contain wisdom.
Ren's soul eyes saw that the centaur chief was extremely powerful, and he had stepped into the legendary middle rank, equivalent to a thirteenth-level berserker. He has more than twenty elements, strength alone has eight levels, tenacity and swiftness are also seven levels above, the rest are melee elements, is a very terrifying legendary fighter.
The Centaur Chief said in Orion's language: "His Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to visit Kas in person and didn't go out to meet you. Then Hazi is really rude."
As he spoke, his front feet were bent, his upper body bent over and lowered his head to show respect.
Amelis lifted her hood to show her beautiful face, looked at the centaur chief in front of her, and said: "Then Haqi, I came suddenly. This is not your fault. Don't be polite."
She raised her hand and let the centaur touch her forehead on the back of her hand.
The bodies of the two differed several times. Amelis stood in front of Nahaqi like a child, tall and respectful saluting the low one, forming a strong contrast.
Then Hazi looked at Renn and the others, and said in surprise: "Your Excellency Astan didn't come?"
"He stayed in Hattork." Emilys replied.
"It's a pity, I also want to ask the Lord Astan for some questions about swordsmanship." Nahaqi asked Emilys to sit on a chair covered with luxurious fur, and glanced over Ren and Galladelos. With Sindala, the eyelids were imperceptibly beating.
As a legendary intermediate warrior, his perception is not weak, and he vaguely feels that the strength of these three people is at least legendary.
"Your Highness, who are these?" Nahaqi asked curiously.
Emilys introduced: "He is Ren..."
Before she could finish her words, Nahaqi let out an exclamation, "Earl Glamorgan!" A surprised and happy expression appeared on his face, "Looking up to the name of the Earl for a long time, I heard about the earl from the people. , Spread all over the grassland, and finally met your Excellency in person!"
The centaur chief is very enthusiastic, just like seeing an idol.
However, Renn saw the other's soul turn to light red, the color was very light, and the hostility was not deep, which represented vigilance, at least not as enthusiastic as it seemed on the surface.
He nodded and whispered: "Chief Haqi is too acclaimed. I just happened to have time to follow Emily to Kas to take a look. The Chief will not mind, right?"
"Of course not, this is a great honor for the Drowken tribe." Nahaqi shook his head quickly.
Then Amelis also mentioned the names of the two dragons, only that they were entourages, but did not introduce their origins.
Nahaqi also welcomed him.
Rehn watched the centaur chief's words and deeds, and thought to himself that it is rare for such a scheming guy to appear in the grumpy and straightforward centaur, just like a human being with a great city. The Zoken tribe can grow from a small settlement of hundreds of people to Kas with more than 30,000 people in more than ten years. In addition to the secret support of Amelis, Nahaqi's ability is even more critical.
Nahaqi clapped his hands, and immediately the centaur waitress entered the tent and delivered ample food, wine, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
"The conditions on the grassland are simple, please forgive your Highness and the count."
After some reception, Emily started talking about business, "Nahazi, about sending troops to Congatro, I asked Choao to come back from Mordu in advance and report it to you. Varogen has been in contact with you. , He said you want to talk to me, now you can talk."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Nahaqi glanced at Renn. Obviously, he knew that Renn was the most important person in this expedition to Congatro.
However, Renn sat beside Amelis without saying a word. If he didn't know his identity, others would think he was just a follower.
Nahaqi said: "The Drowken tribe can have today, thanks to His Highness’s support, now is the time to give back to His Highness. As long as you have a word, the Drowken tribe is willing to send out five thousand most elite fighters to cross the sea to kill Kangga. Tro, but there is a problem right now..."
The centaur chief was embarrassed.
Amilys raised her eyebrows. The previous words of loyalty were just a pavement, and the next one was the key point. She had to talk about the conditions, so she asked, "What is the problem?"
"Pallas Floating City will send people to collect taxes every year." Nahaqi said in a deep voice, daring not to say anything. "Moreover, their taxes are getting heavier and heavier. Last year they only needed 100,000 gold dongs or the equivalent. This year’s cargo has suddenly risen to 200,000 gold shields. There are only more than 30,000 people in the Choken tribe, which is really unbearable."
"Why did it suddenly rise so much?" Amelis was puzzled.
Nahaqi shook his head, "I don't know, I have contacted several large tribes around, and their taxes have also risen sharply."
Renn was also puzzled.
The wealth of Pallas Floating City is well known in the Empire.
After being promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard, the Duke of Redstone chose the city of Pasila, located in the center of the northern prairie of the empire, as his territory.
The northern grassland has an area equivalent to four to five provinces, accounting for one-sixth of the entire empire, but there is no clear empire border.
The Duke of Redstone used his tyrannical strength and iron fist to coerce the entire grassland.
All races living on the grassland, whether it is a centaur tribe, an orc, or a half-orc tribe, must pay taxes to the Duke of Redstone.
At the same time, there are a large number of mines buried underground around Pallas, gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, ash coal, mithril and fine gold, etc., which have contributed countless wealth.
The Duke of Redstone also monopolized the trade and trade between the Empire and the Knight State of Brantania and the orc tribe.
Just collecting tolls from caravans is a huge sum of money every year.
In just a few decades, the Duke of Redstone built his own floating city, and his floating city is the largest and the newest among all floating cities. If it weren't for the short completion time and lack of sufficient foundation, the Duke of Redstone would have already become the fourth giant of the empire.
Anyone with a little knowledge in the empire will not doubt that this day will come sooner or later~EbookFREE.me~ Generally speaking, the floating city of Pasila will not be squeezed too hard.
Now it is uncharacteristically, and directly doubles the tax.
It's okay in the short term. After a long period of time, all races will rebound. This is tantamount to fishing after exhaustion. Could it be that Pasila Floating City is suddenly short of money?
Renn had too little information to make a judgment.
"His Royal Highness, you are here at the right time." Nahaqi said, "His Royal Highness must have seen the airship outside, which came from Pasila Floating City, and asked for two hundred thousand gold shields to be handed in. I am collecting. It will be ready in two days."
"But after paying this tax, the tribe was hollowed out."
"It’s better in summer now. In autumn, the weather turns cold, and the people will have a hard time in the second half of the year. Without sufficient support, it will be difficult for us to send people to fight with His Royal Highness. ."
Then Haqi looked at Amelis with eager eyes, and barely reached out for money directly.
