Chapter 555: The Background of Centaurs
Chapter 555: The Background of Centaurs
Centaur Castle.
Not long after entering the castle, Ivan sent away the patriarch Tanli and occupied a larger courtyard for himself.
"Wizard Ivan, I'm sorry, I didn't know the Centaurs have become so miserable now." Angela said with a guilty look on her face.
"It was a good show, wasn't it?" Ivan laughed.
Hearing this, Angela felt even more ashamed.
She never imagined that her brother's wedding would involve something dirty. If she hadn't returned in time this time, she wouldn't know what would have happened to her family in a few years when her father died of injuries.
"Go and catch up with your family. You haven't seen each other for such a long time. You must have a lot to talk about."
Seeing that Ivan really didn't care, Angela suppressed her other thoughts and left to find her family.
After being away for more than ten years, Angela certainly has a lot to learn, such as why her brother Leowen looks like this and why her sister Jonah is nowhere to be seen today.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so considerate to women." Looking at the disappearing figure, Tanya said with a smile.
"That's because you don't understand me. This wizard has always been kind and gentle to women." Ivan didn't deny it at all.
Hearing this, Tanya rolled her eyes. This guy was really bold. He didn't hesitate at all when he rejected her. Fortunately, he was still a person who remembered the old favor.
"If I were you, I should have taken advantage of the situation to defeat the entire Centaur tribe and then taken this place. This way, the purpose of your trip would be achieved, and you would not be short of servants and experimental subjects."
"That's so boring."
"Are you dissatisfied with this place?"
"It's too far from the underground passage and too close to the southern border. It's not suitable as a place to stay at the moment. Besides, I'd rather build a base from scratch than pick up a ready-made one."
Just as Tanya thought, Ivan actually considered making the Centaurus Basin his own territory, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up.
First, as he said at this time, it is too far from the passage.
Secondly, thousands of years ago, humans and centaurs actually had an alliance. At that time, humans received many favors from the centaurs. Now, humans are turning around and killing the centaurs, which is really immoral.
He is now an arcane wizard, and many of his actions can represent all of humanity, so this must be taken into consideration.
Third, Angela is his woman after all, so he still has to give her the face she deserves.
"what ever."
Rather than developing an underground settlement, Tanya was more concerned about when Ivan would be promoted to Knight King. She originally thought that after arriving in the Centaur Basin, Ivan would do something big.
the other side.
Angela was talking to her father, mother and brother.
Since Elder Thor did not come back and did not bring back any letter, Tanli and others had always believed that Angela, like those who had gone out in the past, had been buried somewhere.
Angela's return this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
Faced with these concerned looks, Angela did not hide anything and briefly described a series of events that happened after she left here.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Angela."
Only then did Tan Li realize how many dangers his eldest daughter had gone through and how she had nearly died several times.
"After meeting Wizard Ivan, my situation has been good. My strength is only half a step away from the Knight King." Angela shook her head and smiled knowingly.
"You have a better eye for people than I, the clan leader," Tanli exclaimed.
Afterwards, the two inevitably talked about the Knight King's inheritance, the Centaur Ancestral Mountain, and the suddenly collapsed monument of the sacred mountain.
Angela did not hide anything about this and explained the matter of the inheritance of the Seven Sacred Mountains.
"Alas! We can't blame others, we can only blame ourselves for not living up to our expectations."
It would be a lie to say that he was not heartbroken, but what could Tanli do? He hadn't seen that the other party could easily destroy one of the best masters in the tribe without even doing anything. He could only accept the fact.
The Centaurs are no longer the Centaurs of the past.
"Leowen, what's wrong with your body?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Angela changed the subject.
"I was poisoned, but I'm feeling much better now than in previous years." Leowen said with a wry smile.
"Poisoned?" Angela immediately thought of the unbridled Lucas, and her eyes turned cold.
"It's not what you think. Leowen overestimated his own abilities, which led to the current disastrous consequences." Tanli saw what his eldest daughter was thinking and hurried to explain.
After listening to her father's subsequent story, Angela realized that this matter had something to do with her.
Her going out and her death stimulated her younger brother Leowen and younger sister Jonah, causing different things to grow in their hearts.
A few years later, the two of them, one in front and one behind, secretly gathered a group of young knights and tried to leave here to venture out and restore the glory of the Centaur tribe.
The result can be imagined.
One was poisoned by a strange poison, and the other disappeared without a trace.
After these two accidents, the remaining chivalry of the Centaurs completely disappeared, leading to their further weakening today, which can be described as "playing rotten".
"Leowen, you and Jonah are both great."
Angela was silent for a moment, and finally looked at her brother approvingly.
"I overestimated my own abilities." Leowen was hit hard enough back then, and it wasn't until Joanna made the same choice that he picked himself up again.
"No, you were just born too late. You were born into this irreversible situation. It's not your fault." Angela shook her head and announced the good news:
"I almost forgot. We cleaned up outside on the way here. Everything there has been cleared away."
Several people were stunned and didn't react for a while.
Until Tanli stood up.
"Angela, are you serious?" he asked, holding Angela's hand.
"Well, we have cleaned up everything without Wizard Ivan having to do anything. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check it out."
Angela understood why her father lost his temper. After all, it was a big problem that had plagued the tribe for hundreds of years.
"I believe it, I believe it." Tanli believed it too much. After all, with that Lord by Angela's side, it was not difficult to clean up the hunters outside.
The three of them were filled with emotion and spoke more without realizing it.
"Angela, tell us the truth, what does that Lord want from here?" Tanli asked nervously at last.
"Originally, I wanted us to seek refuge with Wizard Ivan and seek opportunities for our tribe to rise under his care. But now I think it's better to forget it. We centaurs are not worthy of him. We should just live here in the future. There's no need to ask for too much."
"what?"
Angela said this, and the three of them were dumbfounded again.
A day later, Ivan received a secret map of a possible hidden place and a torn book that recorded some things about the Knight King.
These are obviously the heritage preserved by the Centaurs, but they are pitifully few.
As a wizard, Ivan believed in equal exchange, so he cured Tanli's injuries, cured Leowen's poison, and left behind a superb knight's breathing method.
A few days later, the group left the Centaur Basin, and at Angela's request, two more Centaurs were added to the team.
