Chapter 908: Night Conversations

Bo and Luc had just closed their eyes when they heard discussion coming from next door.

They instantly became alert again. Both pairs of eyes grew enormous, and they bolted up and sat straight.

"Did you just hear that? Although it wasn’t very loud." Bo kept blinking as he stared towards the next door.

"I heard it very clearly. I thought I was having a hallucination." Luc nodded without hesitation.

"It seems that Ga and Gai truly conquered this Tribe. Even people from other Tribes know about it."

Bo nodded with satisfaction, continuing. "I didn’t expect the Large Tribe’s reputation to reach here. Those two are truly formidable."

The two had listened to discussions from the occupants of both adjacent rooms. That was why they could not sleep and sat up.

"Who says otherwise? As expected, when they take action, they can capture the Flame Dragon Tribe. We should have known not to let the Black Snake Tribe occupy it." Luc curled his lip disdainfully, continuing. "If we’d let Gai and his people come from the start, the Flame Dragon Tribe might have developed even better."

"What kind of logic is that? You are obviously way off. The Flame Dragon Tribe recovered this land from the Black Snake Tribe’s hands, and only then developed the… the Central Market afterwards." Bo uttered that extremely awkward term, continuing. "We should actually thank the Black Snake Tribe. At least they were sacrificed with value."

"However, it’s quite regrettable. After all, the Black Snake Tribe was such a big Tribe. To just disappear like that." Luc shrugged his shoulders, continuing. "I wonder if the Shaman will personally come to the Flame Dragon Tribe? Come to think of it, I still haven’t seen the Shaman."

"Not just you. I haven’t seen the Shaman either. But I’ve heard some intelligence agents saying that just one glance will make us feel deep fear." Bo recalled, continuing. "You know what? If we report back all of this, we most likely will get to see him. At that time, we should take a good look."

"I think so too. Let’s sleep. Tomorrow after seeing Ga, we’ll know everything." Luc was beginning to feel somewhat drowsy. At first, when excited, he didn’t feel this way. Most likely after hearing the definite answer.

The suspended feeling in his heart had gradually settled, so drowsiness followed accordingly.

"True. Quickly sleep, quickly." Bo had just been experiencing the comfort of the bed.

If not for hearing the discussion next door, he wouldn’t have left such a comfortable blanket.

The two lay down again. Very quickly, the sound of their snoring also arose.

The blanket truly was too comfortable, much better than sleeping in the forest on piles of grass, dry leaves, or hard tree trunks.

Soon, pleasant times always pass easily. Day broke in an instant.

*Boom!* *boom!* *boom!*

The Flame Dragon Tribe’s large drum sounded. This also served as an indirect alarm clock.

Because the Tribe temporarily did not have a large bell yet, they used drums made from Beasts as a substitute. There would be a dedicated person holding a pocket watch.

Clearly, that pocket watch was given by Su Bai. Every time the hour arrived, drummers would begin beating drums.

At one o’clock, one beat; at two o’clock, two beats, and so on. Of course, periods of half an hour would likewise be struck.

However, the striking method differed. For instance, on the hours, they would strike as many times as the hour number. Once the time reached the half-hour mark, they would strike continuously. This represented reaching the halfway mark. For example, at 7.30, they would strike seven times, then follow with continuous beating.

The Flame Dragon Tribe’s people had already grown accustomed to this time-announcing method. Besides looking at sundials to discern the time, they would listen to the drums.

After seven resounding drum beats, the Flame Dragon Tribe gradually became lively again.

Because this time marked when everyone prepared to start the work. However, everyone rose earlier than the time needed to work, to tidy up and eat breakfast.

To earn labour value, they were now even more diligent than before. Every day, they woke before the drum sounded.

"What’s that sound?" Bo was clearly still out of the loop.

"I heard it too. It can’t be a Ferocious Beast’s call, can it? That sound is too strange." Luc did not pay much attention.

After all, in the Wilderness, there were often such strange sounds.

"Get up quickly. Today we’re seeing Ga. If not for someone guiding us and telling us to rest for the day, she would definitely kill us for being late." Bo shivered just thinking about it.

Originally, yesterday was the meeting time. However, their arrival time was too late. Someone happened to come pass a message telling them to rest. Otherwise, they truly would not dare go directly to the Restful Night Building. Even if it were late, they would still go pay respects to Ga first.

"Yeah. Let’s quickly go see her first. If there’s time today, we can properly examine the Flame Dragon Tribe’s so-called Central Market." Luc said expectantly.

If not for currently having a mission, he would definitely have immediately gone to browse the Central Market. After all, while investigating the Flame Dragon Tribe’s intelligence, they had heard about this Central Market, saying the items inside were all extremely good.

Additionally, upon arriving at the Flame Dragon Tribe, they saw many people from other Tribes, and heard many people discussing the Central Market’s goods.

This further aroused the two’s interest. If not for the mission weighing on them, they would have investigated thoroughly then and there.

"Let’s go quickly." Bo had already changed clothes and equipped his weapons.

*Step step step…*

The two reluctantly left the room. As they walked, they kept looking back every three steps. There was no other reason than last night’s sleep had been too comfortable.

Previously when sleeping in the Wilderness, they would frequently startle awake. Sleep would be extremely restless. Even after sleeping, they would tend to feel strained.

But last night they had experienced the feeling of great safety. This feeling was even more comfortable than in their own Tribe.

Those indescribably named beast hide blankets and pillows, the tactile sensation was truly too comfortable.

As soon as the two exited the Restful Night Building, they saw Lun already waiting at the entrance early on.

Performing a play naturally required performing it completely. Moreover, yesterday he had been the one to come forward. Having him lead them to see Ga today was most reasonable.

"Where’s your Patrol Department Leader? Why are you here?" Bo asked.

He felt vaguely somewhat displeased. After all, another small fry had been dispatched to receive them.

No matter what, he was an intelligence agent. The Flame Dragon Tribe’s people should be running to curry favour with him. That way, when reporting intelligence back, he would embellish it somewhat.

After all, his words to the Main Tribe’s Shaman and Chieftain would greatly influence this place.

"Because the Tribe has many people arriving daily, the Patrol Department’s tasks are heavy, so I’m leading you instead." Lun said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Fine." Although Bo was dissatisfied with this explanation, he could only suppress it for now.

In any case, the most important matter now was seeing Ga, and confirming their internal thoughts.

Lun brought the two onto the carriage again, proceeding directly towards the Yong’an Building’s direction.

*Step step step…*
