Chapter 44 Teacher and Werewolf
The three of them easily won Conrad's commission without much discussion, and went back to pack up their belongings, planning to set off before dark.
At this moment, they gathered in Fox's herbal medicine shop to discuss relevant matters.
"Conrad is involved with high-level elders like Fu Ze, and is vaguely related to things that happened many years ago. We can't give up investigating Chen Qing here."

Wei Miao threw a grape into his mouth and said comfortably.
In fact, they all knew the weirdness of this matter.
The night watchman kept Conrad's information secret, and he was involved in a lot of things. His race is also very interesting, a pig-headed man who serves as a servant in the elder's house.
Fu Ze's information is not as tightly covered as Conrad's, and a little inquiry can outline the image of this person in your mind.
According to rumors, he has always held a contemptuous attitude towards pig-headed people. He is a "hawk" and advocates to use military force against orcs who disobey humans. He particularly despises pig-headed people and has criticized pig-headed people for their bloody barbarity and stubbornness in public.
Such a person accepted Conrad and educated him?
It makes people imagine.
The night watchman also noticed the hidden contradiction and paid special attention to him.
These secrets are buried in Conrad.
In the evening, a caravan mainly composed of rabbit-headed people left Chenqing and headed for the pig-headed tribe along the dense forest road.
Strangely, there was also a fox and a deer-headed person mixed in.
The three discussed and decided that this caravan would be made up by Wei Miao, and the other two would be mixed in. On the one hand, the target is small and it is not easy to arouse the vigilance of Chenqing.
Fortunately, the gods of foxes and deer-headed people have no obvious characteristics, otherwise the gods of the three tribes would gather together, and Chenqing might have some tricks.
On the other hand, the divine favor held by Wei Miao is the most powerful and more secure.
The rest of the divine favors stayed in Chen Qing to gather intelligence and focus on Fu Ze.
The team has a total of ten people. Except for Conrad, the divine favored person and three people, the other two rabbit-headed people are ordinary people.
The two are experienced in business. Without them, not to mention knowing the way, driving a horse is a problem.
Four black horses with shiny fur pulled a cart of moon grass. Two ordinary rabbit-headed people drove in front, and the other eight people squeezed in the back.
The four rabbit-headed warriors stared at Wei Miao with complicated eyes. After this day, they already knew that the number one in front of them was not their familiar partner, but a divine messenger who was a little confused.
Conrad's eyes were bright. Since leaving Chen Qing, he looked far away and felt refreshed when looking at the distant scenery.
Chen Qing is at the junction of the Yarfu dense forest and William Plain, a long distance away from the Walker tribe of the pig-headed people, and it has to pass through several orc tribes in the middle.
At the normal speed of the caravan, this journey would take three days.
"Have you never been out of the city before?"
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkwardly silent, and Fox began to talk to Conrad.
Conrad shook his head, his voice completely inconsistent with the roughness of a pig-headed man, but rather the delicacy of a scholar: "No. I used to stay at the teacher's house, and I was afraid of causing trouble to the teacher, so I never came out."
"Teacher?" Wei Miao chewed on the word with interest.
"Did Brother Conrad grow up in Chenqing since he was a child?"
Lu Lu began to exert her strength, and her delicate voice made Wei Miao and Fox feel a chill, she didn't usually talk like this.
In order to get close to her, the elder brother came out.
The key is that she acted very naturally.
Conrad looked at her with a soft look and a sunny smile: "Yes, I left the tribe because of a disaster when I was a child, and was saved by the teacher. Fortunately, I have been raised by the teacher until now."
"Teacher? Which kind-hearted big man of the human race is it?" Lu Lu's voice was full of expectations.
"The teacher has always been low-key. Adopting a pig-headed man is already a risk of tarnishing his reputation. I can't cause trouble for him." Conrad tactfully skipped Lulu's question.
When talking about this teacher, he was confident and respectful.
But... Wei Miao and the other two looked at each other and saw something meaningful in each other's eyes.
"Sir Conrad speaks generously and appropriately, and is quite elegant like a scholar. Is it because of the 'teacher'?" Wei Miao further probed.
"Yes. The teacher is proficient in astronomy and geography, knowledgeable, and does not care about my background. He taught me human knowledge and helped me integrate into the human society. So I am used to calling him teacher. In fact, to me, he is more like a father."
His tone was full of gratitude.
"Do you know what disaster you had when you were a child?" Wei Miao asked weakly, with a curious look on his face.
In order to get more information from Conrad, the three tried their best to show weakness to the enemy and try not to let him notice.
"It's not clear, it seems that an orc tribe attacked the pig-headed tribe, and the human race intervened and rescued us survivors who were looted." Conrad said.
The North Desert Werewolf... Wei Miao remembered the information he got from the Night Watcher.
The three of them have officially reached a cooperation. There is an old saying that unity is strength. In the absence of conflicts of interest, the three agreed that cooperation is a better way out.
The North Desert Werewolf is important information, and Wei Miao generously shared it, and vaguely understood this race from various channels.
In William Plains, the weather becomes drier as you go north, forming a desert called the North Desert.
The Northern Desert Werewolves have lived in the oasis for generations, but eighteen years ago, the Northern Desert Werewolves suffered from a drought that had not happened in a century, and their living environment became even worse. The gold sand used to trade for daily necessities with various tribes was attacked and seized by the treasure-stealing group, and the entire tribe was on the verge of despair.
The Northern Desert Werewolves did not sit and wait for death, but went south with their entire tribe into the dense forest of Yaerfu, burning, killing and looting along the way, involving the tribes along the way in a small-scale war.
When they were still more than ten kilometers away from the Pig-Headed Man Tribe, they chose to turn back, but no one expected that they would attack the Pig-Headed Man Tribe at night in the dead of night.
The Pig-Headed Man, who was favored by the Tianluo Pig Mother, was naturally not easy to mess with, and killed the Northern Desert Werewolves.
But they suffered heavy losses, and a group of newborns were also captured and disappeared.
The most interesting thing for Wei Miao is here. The defeated and retreating Northern Desert Werewolves did not return to the Northern Desert Oasis, but took root at the junction of the plain and the desert and reclaimed the land. Even though it was very desolate, it was better than the environment of the Northern Desert.
Chen Qing was only a dozen kilometers away from their tribe.
Chen Qing, who had always prohibited the orc tribe from taking root in the plains, was particularly easy to talk to this time. After plundering the Beimo werewolves, the two maintained a tacit peace.
In Wei Miao's eyes, this was a disguised recognition of the "legal status" of the Beimo werewolves.
And the werewolves successfully survived the dry season and preserved the fire.
It's not that no tribe wanted to retaliate against the werewolves, but they were warned by Chen Qing.
The appearance of the army within ten kilometers of Chen Qing was regarded as a declaration of war, and many tribes could only give up in resentment and squeeze the living space of the werewolves from business and other aspects.
The magical thing is that the werewolves finally survived and the tribe flourished.
And looking at Conrad's appearance, he didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't think the same as Wei Miao and others.
After all, he is now more intimate with the human race than the orcs.
