Chapter 204: Yalaer's confession and departure arrangements
Hearing a familiar crisp sound.
While stroking the hard, dry and slippery feathers of the goshawk, Tang Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Yalaer came over with a bright smile on her face and a brisk pace. It was obvious that she was very happy.
After resolving the threat posed by the gray dwarves, which had long posed a threat to the human race, all humans in the oasis breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
Ever since he met Yalaer, she has been showing a maturity and calmness that is not in line with her age. At this moment, Tang Zheng saw the liveliness that belongs to this age in Yalaer.
"Mr. Hero, why don't you join us at the bonfire party? There are lots of delicious food."
Yalaer spoke happily, but halfway through her words, she subconsciously lowered her voice.
Gurgle~ The delicate water from the living water source gushes out from below the water surface, forming crystal clear water droplets, rolling under the moonlight.
The warm night breeze blew the branches and leaves of the trees around the water source, making slight sounds.
In Yalaer's vision, Tang was sitting casually beside the source of running water, while the half-human-high goshawk was squatting quietly beside the hero, very quiet.
There was an inexplicable sense of harmony between the man, the eagle and the quiet environment deep in the oasis. Her sudden arrival seemed to break this atmosphere.
At this moment.
A hint of sadness flashed across Yalaer's bright eyes.
She suddenly realized that the hero did not seem to belong to this oasis, nor to the Valley of Despair.
Yala suddenly remembered that when the hero introduced himself, he seemed to have said "he was a traveler", and she also asked her father privately what a traveler was.
"A lot of delicious food? You should eat more." Tang Zheng chuckled after hearing what Yalaer said, then shrugged his shoulders and said gently: "I have already eaten. To be honest, you are too enthusiastic. I am still not used to this kind of fiery welcome ceremony."
Yalaer was silent for a moment, took a cautious look, and whispered: "Can I sit here, hero?"
"Of course." Tang Zheng nodded.
Yala took a deep breath, pursed her lips, bent down, and sat down next to Tang Zheng with her graceful and tight curves under the moonlight on the water.
"My lord hero is teaching me martial arts, and I have already gotten some clues." Yalaer hugged her legs and a clear voice rang out.
A look of surprise flashed across Tang Zheng's face.
Whether it was the "Four Lights Consecutive Slashes" or the "Instant Reflection", only a few days had passed, but Yarar had already figured it out.
This talent is even higher than he initially expected.
"Thank you, hero." Yarar said softly.
"Huh?" Tang Zheng.
"In fact, I am not used to everyone's excessive care and expectations."
"Ever since I was very young, everyone has been very tolerant of me. No matter what mistakes I made, I could easily get everyone's understanding. There were even some mistakes that everyone would take the initiative to take responsibility for me."
"Especially when I was eight years old, I easily defeated the tribe's hunters by myself. Then the tribe members became more tolerant of me and had higher expectations of me."
Yalaer held her legs tighter with her hands, her pointed chin resting on her knees, her bright silver eyes staring at the surging water source in front of her: "From that time on, I trained very hard every day. I wanted to become strong, to protect my father, and to protect everyone in the tribe."
“I want to respond to that expectation, and I don’t want to disappoint everyone.”
"But I know... I can't be as strong as grandpa who can truly protect everyone."
"If the hero hadn't appeared at that time, I would have died."
Yalaer raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling as she spoke: "I am not afraid of death at all, really, hero. I just... I just feel sorry for everyone, sorry for the expectations of my people."
"No, no... protect them well."
Looking at Yalaer with tears in her eyes, Tang Zheng raised his palm and gently pressed it on Yalaer's short silver hair. He rubbed it a little harder and said gently: "You have worked very hard and done very well."
Wow~ Yalaer suddenly raised her wheat-colored arms, hugged Tang Zheng's outstretched arms tightly, and then rested her head on Tang Zheng's shoulder.
The sudden movement made Tang Zheng stunned.
For a moment, the air became quiet.
The evil dog that transformed into a goshawk turned its head to look at the scene, then turned its head away and moved slightly to the side.
The sky above the Valley of Despair was dotted with stars, and the moon moved to the top of the sky.
Tang Zheng felt Yala's breathing become smoother beside him. He pondered for a moment, stood up slightly, and picked up Yala by the waist.
He opened the wooden house behind him and gently placed Yala on the wooden bed.
Tang Zheng was looking at Yalaer, whose face could not be seen clearly due to the darkness, and a look of headache flashed across his face. Then he turned and walked out of the wooden house.
Boom! Suddenly, Yalaer stretched out her arm and grabbed Tang Zheng's hand.
"My dear hero, are you leaving?... I, I..." Yarar's weak voice sounded in the darkness.
"Have a good sleep, Yara."
Tang Zheng didn't wait for Yalaer to continue speaking. He held Yalaer's soft, calloused hand again, put it back on the wooden bed, and said gently: "This will be a good sleep."
After saying.
Tang Zheng walked out of the wooden house, closed the wooden door, stood quietly beside the source of running water, and gazed at the oasis calmly.
Time passed little by little, about half an hour later.
The figure of Chief Dielon appeared in the center of the oasis. When he saw Tang Zheng standing next to the water source, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he walked over quickly.
"My lord hero..." Chief Dielon spoke quickly and respectfully.
But he had only said half of his words.
Chief Dielon shuddered inexplicably, and felt that the temperature of the air around him seemed to drop by several degrees in an instant.
"Chief Dielon, the bonfire party just ended, right?" Tang Zheng's voice came faintly.
Chief Dielon raised his head carefully, and was met with a pair of emotionless eyes. Chief Dielon trembled all over, and was too scared to reply.
It took quite a while.
“Yalar, her grandfather is a strong man in the field of heroes. She has the blood of “heroes”…” Patriarch Dielon’s voice trembled.
"Well, I'm not interested in your ideas."
Tang Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Chief Dielon's words, his tone still without any fluctuation: "I have something for you to do."
…
The next day.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the early morning, the scorching sun once again shone on the Valley of Despair.
One by one, the human members stood at the edge of the oasis, looking at Tang Zheng, who had already walked out of the oasis with a goshawk standing on his shoulder, with a look of reluctance on their faces.
Chief Dielon stood in the front of everyone. He had long expected Tang Zheng to leave, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Gray Knight!!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and the next moment, a huge shout resounded through the desert.
"Grey Knight!"
"Grey Knight!"
“…………!”
"Grey Knight!"
Chief Diyelon even knelt on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground, and bowed with the highest etiquette of the tribe.
Following Chief Dielon's actions, the rest of the humans crawled down and buried their heads in the sand.
"Really?" Tang Zheng saw the actions of this group of humans, a helpless look appeared on his face, and he shook his head.
The yellow sand rolled up.
Tang Zheng's figure has disappeared.
After a long while, everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction where Tang Zheng disappeared. A depressed atmosphere filled the crowd.
Whoosh! Suddenly, a beautiful figure rushed out from the oasis behind and came in front of Chief Dielon.
"Father, has the hero left?" Yala raised her slender neck, staring at the direction where Tang Zheng left, and asked.
Seeing my daughter asking questions even though she knew the answer.
Chief Dielon's eyelids twitched: "Yalar, I remember that you never slept in and always got up early for training."
"Why, did you oversleep this time?"
Faced with the teasing in her father's words, Yarar looked downcast and had no intention of replying.
The corner of Chief Dielon's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Yalaer with resentment, then turned around and looked at the tribesmen behind him who were also in a depressed mood.
"Everyone, speed up the cleanup of the Gray Dwarf Oasis. After moving all the supplies back from the Gray Dwarf Oasis, everyone should evacuate the Gray Dwarf Oasis."
Chief Dielon spoke loudly with a serious expression, and then continued: "Next, we need to gather some people and prepare to go to the Orc Oasis and give the Oasis of the Gray Dwarves to the Orcs."
As soon as these words were spoken!
The crowd immediately became excited, and noisy voices came from all directions.
"Father! What are you doing!" Yalaer immediately looked at Chief Dielon with an unpleasant look on her face: "This was taken down by the hero for us, how can we give it to other races!"
Facing Yalaer's questioning and the boiling noise of the tribesmen in front of him, Chief Dielon looked very calm.
"This is what the hero arranged!"
Chief Dielon took a deep breath and roared again.
Everyone fell silent at once.
"We have too few people. The hero has said that even if we can capture the Gray Dwarf Oasis, we won't be able to hold it. Instead of doing that, we might as well give it to the Orcs."
"In addition, with the help of this matter, we need to explore and collect intelligence about the Orcs and outside the Shadow Valley for our lord hero." The voice of Chief Dielon sounded again.
A look of realization appeared on everyone's face.
Yalaer's silver pupils lit up, and she stared at Patriarch Dielon closely: "Father, do you mean that the hero will come back?"
"certainly."
Chief Dielon curled his lips as he looked at Yalaer who had regained her spirits in the blink of an eye.
