"They're no match for the blacksmiths in Frost Leaf Town. They work very slowly, and the things they make are quite crude."

Xue Rui explained, "But in our place, they're still the most capable blacksmiths, and they're very strong."

Xue Rui lifted her head and gestured with her hand,

"They're all extraordinarily tall, each one taller than Gang Le."

"Yes, Chris said they all look over two meters tall."

Luo De nodded and asked, "Are they simple-minded?"

"Yeah, they're very nice, just a bit slow and sluggish."

"We have a good relationship with the Yak People of the Giant Hoof Tribe; we used to exchange goods often."

Xue Rui spoke with a slight frown, "But it's said that you can't anger them, or they easily go mad."

"How do they go mad?"

Luo De was slightly curious, "Do they attack others?"

"Not just as you said, they attack everyone they'll see!"

Xue Rui explained, "Their eyes turn blood red, attacking anyone they see around, very terrifying, until they exhaust all their strength!"

Luo De frowned after hearing this.

In this way, the Yak People seem unreliable, and not very valuable to befriend.

Chris's proposal to rescue people needed careful consideration from Luo De.

"But you don't need to worry, they generally don't get angry."

Seemingly noticing Luo De's thoughts, Xue Rui proactively said, "At least I've never seen it."

Luo De raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Is what you say true?"

"Of course, I guarantee it!"

Xue Rui patted her chest in assurance, "The only story I've heard of a Yak Person going mad was a Yak Person brother I knew before; his mother was bitten to death by a giant bear, and his father went mad and killed the giant bear."

"Unfortunately, his father ultimately exhausted his strength, had his arm bitten off by the giant bear, and also tragically passed away."

"If that's the case, they indeed should go mad."

Luo De sighed.

When a beloved person dies before your eyes, even humans might go mad, not to mention Yak People who are inherently prone to madness.

If what Xue Rui said is true, then the Yak People are indeed very formidable

— single-handedly taking on a giant bear, something ordinary people cannot do.

"So, when you were chased by the Bloodscale Tribe, why didn't you ally with the Giant Hoof Tribe's Yak People?" Luo De asked.

"Huh?"

Xue Rui was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but purse her lips.

Unable to resist, she lowered her head, a laugh escaping from her nose.

"Hmm?"

Luo De looked at Xue Rui, puzzled, "What's so funny about that?"

Xue Rui swallowed hard to stop her smile,

"Lord, you don't know, the Yak People of the Giant Hoof Tribe were caught first..."

"..."

Luo De was speechless,

"They're so strong and even have mad cow disease, how were they caught before you?"

"Were there very few of them? Trapped by the Lizardmen?"

"No, Lord, they were many, even more than us."

Xue Rui shook her head and sighed,

"They're very honest and extremely tolerant. Those Lizardmen were smart, only whipping them and stealing their things without killing."

"So the Yak People hardly resisted and were obediently taken away by the Lizardmen."

"That is indeed honest."

Luo De couldn't help but comment.

Indeed worthy of being Yak People.

Born as cattle and horses.

Luo De further asked, "So if I rescue them from the Lizardmen, will they obediently work for me too?"

"Of course, the conditions here are so good."

Xue Rui nodded without hesitation, "Yak People are easy to feed, even eating grass and bark when there's no food."

With such an honest nature, if they had poor appetites, they would have long perished.

Luo De couldn't help but think, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind.

"Then tell me, those Yak People,"

He looked at Xue Rui and asked with a smile, "Do they eat beef?"

...

...

Luo De didn't chat with Xue Rui for too long and quickly sent her back to oversee the construction.

With the arrival of the Snow Rabbit People from the White Claw Tribe, her work became busier than before.

Especially since the Snow Rabbit People of the White Claw Tribe didn't speak the Empire's common language, sometimes Xue Rui also had to handle some of their daily minor matters.

After Xue Rui left, Luo De walked into Avril's room.

"So, have you found the answer?"

"Kind of."

Avril pursed her lips and said, "There are many witchcrafts for long-distance detection, Detection Skill, remote vision, or prophetic spells."

"But these are all spells that only official wizards can cast, some even tier two wizards."

"If there were such a powerful spellcaster among the Lizardmen, they should have already broken out of the Icefield Mountain Range, right?"

"You're right."

Luo De nodded and smiled at Avril's cheek, asking, "So you should have an answer."

"Yes, I speculate the opposing spellcaster might possess a prophetic magic item."

Avril explained, "But such a magic item can't spy on any person and place at will, or Gang Le and the others couldn't have moved freely and hunted Lizardmen before."

"It should be that this item can be marked on a target to monitor or predict their actions."

Avril spoke while taking an alchemy tome and spreading it before Luo De,

"Following this line of thought, I found this."

"Mirror of True Sight."

Luo De looked at the spot Avril pointed to, it's a half-person-high metal mirror.

The mirror's surface was covered with intricate patterns, appearing like witchcraft runes.

The most distinct feature of this mirror was an open single eye embedded at the top of the mirror.

The purple pupil emitted an eerie glow, and even though it was just a drawing of the item, Luo De could feel a strange sensation.
